F
The life that I'm seeking
C7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
F
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
A#
Feeling it go to my head
F
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
C7 F
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
C7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
F
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
A#
And somewhere it's waiting for me
F
And I know that it must be somewhere
C7 F
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
A#
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
F
And next Tuesday night's PTA
A#
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
F C7
And what all the dog did today
F
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
A# F
What a beautiful world this would be
A# F
And there would be us somewhere between lust
C7 F
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
C7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
F
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
A#
Walking through town tempting me
F
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
C7 F
And sitting home watching TV
A#
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
F
And next Tuesday night's PTA
A#
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
F C7
And what all the dog did today
F
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
A# F
What a beautiful world this would be
A# F
And there would be us somewhere between lust
C7 F
And sitting home watching TV
