Met her at a friendly little bar down along the coast
  She said it was her birthday so we had us a nice little toast
  Drove around for a while, smoked a few cigarettes
  Took her back to my place, she slipped off her party dress
  She sat for a while on the edge of the bed just talkin'
  Loose change in my pocket
  Loose change in my pocket
    Pint of gin in my boot cuff, I'm drivin' for a drink and a dance
  Sittin' on the next stool, miss a little time on her hands
  Yeah I knew she was trouble, but trouble sure was lookin' fine
  And when I pulled her close what I knew kinda slipped my mind
  We lay in bed and watched the moon come up crawling
  Loose change in my pocket
  Loose change in my pocket
    I pour another drink, wait for the night to get through
  Stars are burning in that black void so far away and blue
    Now I'm sittin' at a red light I feel somethin' tickin' way down
  The night's moving like a slow train crawling through this shithole town
  Got my bags packed in the back and I'm tryin' to get going again
  But red just goes to green and green goes red and then
  Then all I hear's the clock on the dash tick-tocking
  Loose change in my pocket
  Loose change in my pocket
