Blue Nights (J. Steele/B. Allmand)
If you don't count the overtime, a 40 hour grunt This dream ain't easy on a paycheck twice a month SSI FICA fedral and state tax, only thing it's good for is a man back
But got a 20 in my pocket and I'm gettin' the first round And there's a in the corner and they're gonna rock the house And girls from the Skynard show, how much you wanna bet There all in the back shootin' pool and smokin' cigarettes And we get lucky, if we play our cards right Chances are I'll end up drunk trying to pick a fight Singing Whoa all the way home.. Yeah we'll out the lights Its a Blue Night.
I'm still in that same red brick flat me and hunted down, block shevles and the lime green sofa pull out. Been two years I've seen her leave in that corvette. When I look around this dump I see why she left.
But I've savin' up my money, started goin' back to school and I'm learning them computers and maybe in a or two. I can a little buisness and if I get it off the ground. I can talk the bank into a loan for that place dreamed about. And I bet she'll crawling back, I'll be sittin' here till then beer and throwin' darts and having laughs with all my friends.
Singing whoa all the why home. yeah shoot out the lights, it's a blue collar night
I came home to sweet voice coming out of my machine Said LA sunshine is even better than I dreamed I rewound 3 more times, my steve I said lets go, he said I'm broke, I said grab keys
Cause I've got a 20 in my and I'm gettin' the first round, And a band in the corner, they're gonna rock the house And girls from the Skynard show, how much you wanna bet They're already in the back shootin' and smokin' cigarettes. Yeah we might get lucky if we play our cards But chances are we'll end up drunk just trying to a fight Singing all the way home Yeah shoot out the lights Its a Collar Night.
Whooo all the way Yeah we'll out the lights Its a collar.....its a blue collar night
