Baby can't wait, baby gotta go
Gotta do a number on a late night show
Do a little song, do a little dance
Gonna make the best of her big chance
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
I gotta friend, gotta little girl
Say she's the best in the whole wide world
Said it's so good, said it so unreal
Might not last, but it's no big deal
It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
Just trying to make the best of the hometown blues.
Blues
Baby, save me, save me,
Save me with your sweet smile
Honey, I really need you
To help me kill a little bit of time
All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They gotta little money, little in a dream
Wanna be the queen of their little scene
Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
They're trying to make the best of the hometown blues
Blues
Blues, blues, blues, blues
