Lyrics
Another Friday night Sitting on my couch beneath a softly glowing light Lighting up my head Lighting up my screen And the me three years ago knows exactly what I mean This silly town It could be Mars I could go to the bars I don't want to work that hard Things never work The way they should Who was it said that life is good And I've been out To places I thought, meet some folks and see what life's about Just a face to touch And a hand to hold All groups of two or three full of people twice as old This silly town Just marking time I could go to the bars I don't want to waste my dime Things never work The way they should Who was it said that life is... And the TV beer commercial tells me how to have fun Play some Rocky Mountain volleyball in the California sun Just get married, get some wise-cracking pals And your solitary days are on the run I've been downtown Gin-and-tonic in one hand and my eyes casting around Up agains the wall Up against the bar Cursing at the singles' scene beat a path back to my car This silly town Just marking time I could go to the bars I don't want to waste my dime Things never work The way they should Who was it said that life is good Walking in my door Turning on my light Feed the fish and settle in for another Friday night Got to clear my head Got to find my scene Will the me three years from now Know exactly what I mean This silly town It could be Mars I could go to the bars I don't want to work that hard Things never work The way they should Who was it said that life is...
