A
The life that I'm seeking
E7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
A
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
D
Feeling it go to my head
A
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
E7 A
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
E7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
A
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
D
And somewhere it's waiting for me
A
And I know that it must be somewhere
E7 A
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
D
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
A
And next Tuesday night's PTA
D
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
A E7
And what all the dog did today
A
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
D A
What a beautiful world this would be
D A
And there would be us somewhere between lust
E7 A
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
E7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
A
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
D
Walking through town tempting me
A
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
E7 A
And sitting home watching TV
D
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
A
And next Tuesday night's PTA
D
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
A E7
And what all the dog did today
A
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
D A
What a beautiful world this would be
D A
And there would be us somewhere between lust
E7 A
And sitting home watching TV
