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