  Rose was a waitress for twenty years or more
  Bringing in the change, she was heaven sent
  She taught me to balance trays when I didnt know what to do
  And I learned to turn tables to make my rent
  She said keep your eye on the work clock
  Keep a dollar in the jukebox
  And theres a bottle of whiskey behind the coffee machine
  Dont talk to the boss, hes just trouble you dont want to cross
  Hes the walking definition of what it is to be mean
  Well, Im going out tonight on the streets of the city 
  Dont you spend my money tonight
  Im going out on the streets of the city 
  Rose, youre pushing fifty, but you sure look all right
  Yes, you do
  You know, alright
  Yes, you do
  Alright
  Well theres this guy who speaks no English, and he does the dishes by hand
  You know his pace it never slacks
  I said Rose, he must be one of Gods good children
  She just laughs and says Yeah, Gods got him doing the dishes all night in the back
  But he keeps smiling and those plates keep piling up so high 
  Seems he cant make a dent
  Me Im just bitchin by the service station
  So tired of waiting on all these jokers for a lousy ten percent
  Well Im going out on the streets of the city 
  Dont you spend my money tonight
  Im going out on the streets of the city 
  Rose, youre pushing fifty, but you sure look all right, yeah
  Sure look alright
  Ooh, yes, you do
  You sure look alright
  Yeah, you do, you do, you do, you do 
  Alright
  Now listen, I traveled once with this rock and roll band
  And my baby was a hero at every small town bar
  And I watched that summer of 88 pass through the rearview mirror of this rented car
  But dont you learn real young and fast
  That the good times, they aint meant to last
  And that sweet love, aint it the first to disappear
  Rose, sometimes, you know, I get so frightened
  I dont want to spend the rest of my life
  Working on the graveyard shift here
  Well Im going out on the streets of the city 
  Going to spend my money tonight
  Im going out on the streets of the city 
  Rose, youre pushing fifty, but you sure look all right
  Sure look alright
  Ooh, yes, you do
  You sure look alright
  Yeah, you do, you do, you do, you do 
  Alright
