G
The life that I'm seeking
D7
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home
G
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer
C
Feeling it go to my head
G
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
D7 G
And rollers and dressing for bed
What I'm looking for ain't
D7
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife
G
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world
C
And somewhere it's waiting for me
G
And I know that it must be somewhere
D7 G
Between lust and sitting home watching TV
C
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
G
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
G D7
And what all the dog did today
G
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
C G
What a beautiful world this would be
C G
And there would be us somewhere between lust
D7 G
And sitting home watching TV
My wife's a good cook
D7
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for
G
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed
I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains
C
Walking through town tempting me
G
And a body could rust on a diet of lust
D7 G
And sitting home watching TV
C
Somewhere between Playboy magazine
G
And next Tuesday night's PTA
C
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen
G D7
And what all the dog did today
G
If a wife and a lover could be one and the same
C G
What a beautiful world this would be
C G
And there would be us somewhere between lust
D7 G
And sitting home watching TV
