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
