Friday Night Blues

I bet she’s out painting the town Foot-loose, feelin’ fancy and free Not wasting one thought over me Decked out in her favorite gown Satin silk and split to the thigh On a reckless, rollicking high Dancing with some sweet talkin’ clown Who knows every trick of the trade Lost count of the conquests he’s made Some playboy of local renown Reciting his tired old routine (“Don’t wake me if this is a dream”) Her feet getting swept off the ground Rebounding with a one night stand Pay-back for her cheatin’ old man Yes, I bet she’s out painting the town Decked out in her favorite gown Dancing with some sweet talkin’ clown Some playboy of local renown Her feet getting swept off the ground

Hi Tim - You nailed it whatever the dirge it's based on. Makes me want to pull up a stool and order a sarsaparilla. Hope your holiday season runs smooth and peaceful. Not an easy time. hugs Kathy
