Blue Nights (J. Steele/B. Allmand)
If you don't the overtime, it's a 40 hour grunt American dream ain't easy on a paycheck twice a month SSI FICA fedral and state tax, only it's good for is settin' a man back
But I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm gettin' the round And there's a band in the corner and gonna rock the house And them girls from the show, how much you wanna bet There all ready in the back pool and smokin' cigarettes And we might get lucky, if we our cards right Chances are I'll end up drunk just to pick a fight Singing Whoa all the way home.. Yeah shoot out the lights Its a Collar Night.
I'm still in that same red flat me and Gina hunted down, Cinder block shevles and the lime sofa pull out. Been two since I've seen her leave in that corvette. When I 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 start a buisness and if I get it off the ground. I can talk the bank into a loan for that Gina dreamed about. And I bet come crawling back, I'll be sittin' here till then Drinkin' beer and darts and having laughs with all my friends.
Singing whoa all the why home. yeah we'll out the lights, it's a blue collar night
I came home to Gina's sweet voice out of my machine Said that LA sunshine is better than I dreamed I rewound 3 more times, my steve I said go, he said I'm broke, I said grab your 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 pool 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 Whoooo all the way home Yeah we'll shoot out the Its a Collar Night.
Whooo all the way Yeah we'll shoot out the Its a blue collar.....its a blue collar
