The life that I'm seeking
is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
where the one that I'm married
to's knitting
Happiness may not be
here drinking beer,
feeling it go to my head
But it ain't back at home
where she's putting in curlers and rollers
and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for
ain't the blonde in the
corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
that's devoted her life to
dumb thinking
Happiness surely still is in this world
and somewhere it's waiting for me
And I know that it must be
somewhere between lust
and sittin' home watchin' T .V.
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
and next Tuesday night's P .T .A.
Somewhere between a
honky -tonk queen
and what all the dog did today.
If a wife and a lover
could be one of the same,
what a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us
somewhere between lust
and sitting home watching
TV
My wife's a good cook,
but a man can't exist on just bread
And what I'm hungry for
is the one thing I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping
but there's lots of bargains
Walking through town tempting me
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
At sitting home watching TV
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
And next Tuesday night's PTA
Somewhere between a
honky -tonk queen
And what all the dog did today
If a wife and a lover
could be one of the same
What a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us
somewhere between lust
And sittin' home watchin' TV you
