The band had just started
When they walked in the door
He sat her at a table
And strolled out on the floor
He grabbed the first sweet thang
That gave him the eye
And left the door open
For the steal of the night
Three dances later
She was still in her chair
He was still on the dance floor
Like he didn't care
So I eased on over
There was no ring in sight
And I found myself facing
The steal of the night
She was the steal of the night
Oh, yeah
She was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowing
And her jeans so tight
I held her close
And it felt so right
She was the steal of the night
Oh, yeah
She was the steal of the night
He left her lonely
And the pickings were right
She was the steal of the night
We danced every slow one
The band could play
Was it ever this easy
For old Jesse James?
Had the gold in my hands
And the banker was blind
Just inches away
From the steal of the night
When the band stopped playing
We walked to the car
As I closed the door
He ran out of the bar
Saw him shaking his fist
Under the parking lot light
As I strolled away
With the steal of the night
She was the steal of the night
Oh, yeah
She was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowing
And her jeans so tight
I held her close
And it felt so right
She was the steal of the night
Oh, yeah
She was the steal of the night
He left her lonely
And the pickings were right
She was the steal of the night
She was the steal of the night
Oh, yeah
She was the steal of the night
Her long hair flowing
And her jeans so tight
I held her close
And it felt so right
