City Boy Interrupted Melody Lyrics

Interrupted Melody Lyrics

Bright young woman came running from home 



With her life in her
hands 'cause they gave her such a 



bad time





Just a part-time lover and a full-time wife 



With her heart in
the dark and her head out in the 



daylight





Every small-town mother had a rumour on her lips 



"I could tell
she was trash from her head to her 



fingertips





Now and again when she disagreed 



It was an interrupted
melody





Shame was a runner for the lady to beat 



It left a fire in her belly and a pain in her feet





Friends can be found on the lowest avenue 



You never ask for a
name when they offer you a lean-to





Now and again when she
disagreed 



It was an interrupted melody





Working the week-end--Tricks in the park 



Over exposure--meat
for the sharks 



Turn out the headlights--Pull up the car 



Business for pleasure--life after dark





There was
Willie the Man with his wallet and charm 



He left a smile on her
face and a mark in her arm





And every Saturday night when
the girls gave their 



best 



He was hustling trade for
the kid from out West





Now and again when she disagreed 



Just an interrupted melody





One thing she learned
was never give It away 



They can take what they want just as long
as they pay







Now all that remains of that small-town
life 



Is a letter from home and a look in her eye 





Now and again when she disagreed 



It was an interrupted
melody





Working the week-end--Tricks In the park 



Over exposure--
