lyrics

Gina and leroy
Are struggling to make ends meet
Leroy was laid off
Gina's picking up shifts
Trying to stay up on both feet
The rent's late, the bill's are too
Neither one knows what they're gonna do
Its gettin dark and i dont mean
the sun's going down
There's just nothing to do
in this nothing town

Remember when we used to dance?
When there was hope in the heart of this city
Now desolation's choking every chance
But baby you look so pretty
Let me spin you round one last time
Lets keep that dream alive for one more night

Gina and leroy
both grew up a couple blocks away
Leroy dropped out gina made it through
They both got hired and decided to stay
The Made a living, they made a home
Now those jobs are gone
and the leads are cold
Its gettin dark
they had to sell everything they own
Nothin but flooding & rust its all overgrown

Do you remember when we used to sing
When there was hope in the heart of this city
Now after losing almost everything
Baby you look so pretty
Let me swing you round one last time
Let's Keep that dream alive for one more night

Bridge
I hear there's work out in Sacramento
Two thousand miles from our back door
Box up the memories and pack up the car
Lets hope we find what were looking for

Gina and Leroy
Set to leave the only home they've known
Cairo gave and took everything it could
Good or bad it's just the way it goes

Their Paradise crumbled
All around em
If there were some secret to keep it
They never found em
It's getting dark
pretty soon it'll be good and gone
They roll the windows down
and turn the radio on

"Can I ask you one more time to dance
Lets bring some hope to the heart of this city
I know desolations choked out evry chance
But baby you look so pretty
Let me spin you round one last time
Lets keep the dream alive for one more night
