Atlantic City

[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 bussing in from out of state

And the DA can't get no relief

Gonna rumble down on the promenade

And the gambling commissioner's hanging on by the skin of his teeth

[Chorus]

Everything dies baby that's a fact

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]

Now 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]

Everything dies baby that's a fact

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 love may be cold

But with you forever I'll stay

Now we're going to where the sand's turning to gold

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

Everything dies, baby that's a fact

But maybe everything that dies someday comes back

[Verse 3]

Now I've 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

I'm tired of coming out on that losing end

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

[Chorus]

Everything dies baby that's a fact

Maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
