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 I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm gettin' the first And there's a band in the corner and gonna rock the house And them girls from the show, how much you wanna bet all ready in the back shootin' pool and smokin' cigarettes And we might get lucky, if we our cards right Chances are I'll end up drunk trying to pick a fight Singing all the way home.. Yeah we'll shoot out the lights Its a Blue Night.
I'm still in that same red brick flat me and Gina down, Cinder block shevles and the lime sofa pull out. Been two years since I've seen her leave in corvette. I look around this dump sometimes I see why she left.
But I've been savin' up my money, started goin' to school and I'm learning them computers and in a year or two. I can a little buisness and if I get it off the ground. I can talk the bank into a loan for place Gina dreamed about. And I bet she'll come crawling back, I'll be sittin' here then beer and throwin' darts and having laughs with all my friends.
Singing whoa all the why home. yeah we'll shoot out the lights, a blue collar night
I came to Gina's sweet voice coming out of my machine Said that LA is even better than I dreamed I rewound 3 more times, my steve I said lets go, he said I'm broke, I grab your keys
Cause I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm gettin' the round, And there's a band in the corner, they're gonna rock the And those girls from the Skynard show, how much you bet They're in the back shootin' pool and smokin' cigarettes. Yeah we might get lucky if we our cards right But chances are we'll end up drunk just trying to a fight Whoooo all the way home Yeah we'll out the lights Its a Blue Night.
all the way home Yeah we'll out the lights Its a collar.....its a blue collar night
