What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A cab combs the snake,
2
Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,
3
And a solitary sailor
4
Who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers
5
Paws his inside P-coat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents,
6
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,
7
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
8
And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair
9
Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, Irene
10
As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes
11
And the Texaco beacon burns on,
12
The steel-belted attendant with a ring and valve special
13
Cryin' fill'er up and check that oil
14
You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil
15
The early mornin' final edition's on the stands,
16
And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands
17
Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents
18
Eggs, roll 'em over and a package of Kents
19
Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight
20
Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late
