D
The life that I'm seeking
A7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
D
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
G
Feeling it go to my head
D
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
A7 D
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
A7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
D
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
G
And somewhere it's waiting for me
D
And I know that it must be somewhere
A7 D
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
G
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
D
And next Tuesday night's PTA
G
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
D A7
And what all the dog did today
D
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
G D
What a beautiful world this would be
G D
And there would be us somewhere between lust
A7 D
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
A7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
D
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
G
Walking through town tempting me
D
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
A7 D
And sitting home watching TV
G
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
D
And next Tuesday night's PTA
G
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
D A7
And what all the dog did today
D
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
G D
What a beautiful world this would be
G D
And there would be us somewhere between lust
A7 D
And sitting home watching TV
