Now they blew up his house too. 
			   C 
Down on the boardwalk they're gettin ready for a fight 
           D			    G 
Gonna see what them racket boys can do. 
 
			       C 
Now there's trouble bustin in from outta state 
             D		   G 
And the D.A. can't get no relief. 
		          C 
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade 
	        D			 	G 
And the gamblin commission's hangin on by the skin of his teeth. 
 
Chorus: 
                 C	   G 
Well now ev'rything dies, baby that's a fact

Well I got a job and tried to put my money away 
      D	         	                       G 
But I got debts that no honest man can pay.

So I drew what I had, from the Central Trust 
       D	     	         	              G 
And bought us two tickets on that City Coast bus.

Now our luck may have died, and our love may be cold

But with you forever I'll stay.

Now I been lookin' for a job, but it's hard to find

Down here it's just winners and losers.

Honey last night, I met this guy
