about

A different interpretation of Bob Seger's song, originally released on his 1976 album, Night Moves. More of a swampy, New Orleans feel than the original version.

lyrics

Here comes old Rosie she's lookin' mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light

All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop

When it all gets too heavy, that's when they come and go
With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below

It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy, and he'll find her every time
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight

All through the midnight, watch 'em come and watch 'em go
With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below
