Lyrics
Promises and Rain (Tuckerton NJ, 1965)
Summer town, shut down, January night Last one out turns off the light Red light, green light, man that’s a joke You can go through red, you can go through green You can go through anything in between Cars blow through this town like it was made of smoke Up above the storefront, third floor room Sleepin’ in your clothes by the light of the moon Heat coil, red glow, got the radio on Christ this goddamn place is cold Plastic on the windows snap when the wind blows Atlantic City station is playin’ a country song Promises and rain Promises and rain Fallin’ all around this town Some things never change All you get are promises...and rain Wind kicks in from across the lake Rain so sharp it’ll cut your face One false move tonight and it’s goodbye John Pizza joint, gin mill, Redman’s Lodge Paper store, Texaco, Harold’s Pool Hall Shut down tight but they all got the radio on It goes on and on..... Promises and rain Promises and rain Fallin’ in between the cracks Nothin' seems to change All you get are promises...and rain Louie got arrested, who knows why? Holly got killed on the fourth of July Davy’s still tryin’ to pass the civil service exam Sandy says he’s gonna move way down south AC Electric job don’t pan out And everybody’s talkin’ bout a place called Viet Nam Trouble’s on the way, it’s just a matter of time Talk that talk you better walk that line Dance with the devil and there’s gonna be a price to pay So take that punch, taste that blood Do it for hate, do it for love The fire’s lookin’ better than the slow burn anyway Promises and rain Promises and rain Pick one or the other It all comes out the same All you get are promises... Promises and rain Promises and rain Fallin’ all around this town Some things never change All you get are promises...and rain
