Atlantic City (Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - June/July 2000)

[Verse 1]

Well, they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night

And they blew up his house, too

Down on the boardwalk, they're getting ready for a fight

Gonna see what them racket boys can do

Now there's trouble busing in from out of state

And the D.A. can't get no relief

Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade

And the gambling commission's hanging on by the skin of its teeth

[Chorus]

Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

[Verse 2]

Well, I got a job and tried to put my money away

But I got debts that no honest man can pay

So I drew what I had from the Central Trust

And I bought us two tickets on that Coast City bus

[Chorus]

Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

[Bridge]

Now, our luck may have died, and our love may be cold

But with you, forever, I'll stay

We're going out where the sand's turning to gold

So put on your stockings, baby, 'cause the night's getting cold

[Chorus]

And everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

[Verse 3]

Now I been looking for a job, but it's hard to find

Down here, it's just winners and losers and "Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line"

Well, I'm tired of coming out on the losing end

So, honey, last night, I met this guy, and I'm gonna do a little favor for him

[Chorus]

Well, now, everything dies, baby, that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
