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