Heart of Saturday Night


                                            Well these diamonds on my windshield
                                            And these tears from heaven
                                            Well i'm pulling into town on the interstate
                                            Got a steel train in the rain                                               
                                            And the wind bites thru the wing
                                            And it's these late nights and this freeway flying
                                            It always makes me sing

                                           And the radio's gone off the air 
                                           Gives you time to think
                                           And you hear the rumble
                                           As you fumble for a cigarette
                                           And blazing thru this midnight jungle
                                           Remember someone that you met

Tom Waits
