Cabfare and Perfume

Cabfare and Perfume - David Ray

Downtown in the dark

in a room that rings with laughter

cabfare and perfume

making sure of her hereafter

watches quietly

as the tables turn she lingers

counting silently

as the nights slip through her fingers

[Chorus]
If the girls all stick around
we can share the ride uptown
wonderin' how much good tequila to consume
but she never has enough
cabfare and perfume

She's a Texas girl
from a broken home she wandered
flying coast to coast
as good fortune dawned upon her
still her aim is high
though her goals are non-specific
anyway she tries
and in blue she looks terrific

[Repeat Chorus]-- If the boyfriend's not around...
