Come Out Tonight

Bruce Springsteen


Spread out now Rosie doctor come cut loose her mama´s reins 
You know playin´ blind man´s bluff is a little baby´s game 
You pick up Little Dynamite I´m gonna pick up Little Gun 
And together we´re gonna go out tonight and make that highway run 
You don´t have to call me lieutenant Rosie and I don´t want to be your son 
The only lover I´m ever gonna need´s your soft sweet little girl´s tongue and Rosie you´re the one 
Dynamite´s in the belfry playin´ with the bats 
Little Gun´s downtown in front of Woolworth´s tryin´ out his attitude on all the cats 
Papa´s on the corner waitin´ for the bus 
Mama she´s home in the window waitin´ up for us 
She´ll be there in that chair when they wrestle her upstairs ´cause you know we ain´t gonna come 
I ain´t here on business 
I´m only here for fun 

Rosalita jump a little lighter 
Senorita come sit by my fire 
I just want to be your lover ain´t no liar 
Rosalita you´re my stone desire 

Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knees Willie you know they´re gonna be there 
Ah Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy they´ll be comin´ up for air 
We´re gonna play some pool skip some school act real cool 
Stay out all night it´s gonna feel all right 
Rosie come out tonight Rosie come out tonight 
Windows are for cheaters chimneys for the poor 
Closets are for hangers winners use the door 

Rosalita jump a little lighter 
Senorita come sit by my fire 
I just want to be your lover ain´t no liar 
Rosalita you´re my stone desire 

Now I know your mama she don´t like me ´cause I play in a rock and roll band 
And I know your daddy he don´t dig me but he never did understand 
Papa lowered the boom he locked you in your room 
I´m comin´ to lend a hand 
I´m comin´ to liberate you confiscate you I want to be your man 
Someday we´ll look back on this and it will all seem funny 
But now you´re sad your mama´s mad 
And your papa says he knows that I don´t have any money 
Tell him this is his last chance to get his daughter in a fine romance 
Because a record company Rosie just gave me big bucks 

My tires were slashed and I almost crashed but the Lord had mercy 
My machine she´s a dud out stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey 
Hold on tight stay up all night ´cause Rosie I´m comin´ on strong 
By the time we meet the morning light I will hold you in my arms 
I know a pretty little place in Southern California down San Diego way 
There´s a little cafe where they play guitars all night and day 
You can hear them in the back room strummin´ 
So hold tight baby ´cause don´t you know daddy´s comin´ 

Rosalita jump a little lighter 
Senorita come sit by my fire 
I just want to be your lover ain´t no liar 
Rosalita you´re my stone desire
