C
The life that I'm seeking
G7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
C
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
F
Feeling it go to my head
C
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
G7 C
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
G7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
C
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
F
And somewhere it's waiting for me
C
And I know that it must be somewhere
G7 C
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
F
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
C
And next Tuesday night's PTA
F
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
C G7
And what all the dog did today
C
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
F C
What a beautiful world this would be
F C
And there would be us somewhere between lust
G7 C
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
G7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
C
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
F
Walking through town tempting me
C
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
G7 C
And sitting home watching TV
F
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
C
And next Tuesday night's PTA
F
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
C G7
And what all the dog did today
C
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
F C
What a beautiful world this would be
F C
And there would be us somewhere between lust
G7 C
And sitting home watching TV
