E
The life that I'm seeking
B7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
E
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
A
Feeling it go to my head
E
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
B7 E
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
B7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
E
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
A
And somewhere it's waiting for me
E
And I know that it must be somewhere
B7 E
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
A
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
E
And next Tuesday night's PTA
A
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
E B7
And what all the dog did today
E
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
A E
What a beautiful world this would be
A E
And there would be us somewhere between lust
B7 E
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
B7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
E
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
E
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
B7 E
And sitting home watching TV
A
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
E
And next Tuesday night's PTA
A
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
E B7
And what all the dog did today
E
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
A E
What a beautiful world this would be
A E
And there would be us somewhere between lust
B7 E
And sitting home watching TV
