B. r. hornsby/john hornsby About this time of evening, out by the bay They turn the roadlights on the bridge A diesel rolls in silhouette, eastbound Lovers glad the sun has set I'm staring into the twilight Wishing i could find someone tonight I know she's out there somewhere On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer On the western skyline The rooftops sag on second street Bachelor's quarters, too much fun, Not enough fun The kite's still hanging on the wire Waiting on the wind Too many dreams, not enough hope Voices on my radio Telling me where i should go
I know she's out there somewhere On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer On the western skyline They'll set up on the bandstand When the sailors hear the whistle blow Underneath the streetlight Violence in the afterglow Give me a shiny cadillac Close your eyes past that city limits sign He's got the admiral's daughter in the back Trying to cross her battle line As i'm staring into the twilight Wishing i could be with her tonight I know she's out there somewhere On the western skyline Lonely women say a prayer On the western skyline
