She's Back In Town

Last Friday night, I took a walk
I bummed a light, I sat and listened to the talk
From what I heard, mum's ain't the word
She's back in town

Two soldier boys, home from the war
Been makin' noise, down at the ends of the bar
They said they seen her, she's lean and meaner
She's back in town

She travels light, she travels swift
Keeps out of sight 'cause she was born with a gift
She's one of those who comes and goes
She's back in town

Hey, when she's gone, I keep my head
I sleep alone in that old big empty bed
I go to links to save my strength
For when she's back in town

She's back in town, I bet it all
Before the sun goes down, she's gonna give me a call
That says, "Hello, hey, what you know?"
She's back in town

She's back in town, say hallelujah
This waitin' 'round has been gettin' to ya
You start to think, yeah, I'm on the brink
And then she's back in town
