He walked the street to the corner liquor store
Got some ciagarettes and wine and he backed out the door
It didn't work out quite like he thought it would
Now he's back page news down in the neighborhood

And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long

She's up late staring at the TV all alone
Got the front light on for a man who ain't coming home
Baby in the bedroom starts to cry
The sound of the street is her only lullaby

And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long

Downtown, Uptown, cruisin' for a thrill
Nothin' to lose and a whole lotta time to kill
She's up late staring at the TV all alone
Got the front light on for a man who ain't coming home

And it's boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
Boom boom boom
Boom boom boom
Boom boom all night long
