                  (Cal Smith)-----(1974)

G                   
The life that I’m seeking 
                             D
Is not in this bar where I’m sitting 

But it’s sure ain’t at home 
                                     G
Where the one that I’m married to’s knitting 



Happiness may not be here drinking beer, 
                    C
Feeling it go to my head 

But it ain’t back at home where she’s putting in curlers 
     D                       G
And rollers and dressing for bed 


        
What I’m looking for ain’t the blonde 
                     D
In the corner who’s winking 

And it sure ain’t my wife
                               G
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking 



Happiness surely still lives in this world 
                               C
And somewhere it’s waiting for me 
                                   G
And I’m know that it must be some-where between lust
                  D        G
And sitting home watching TV 


C      (Chouus)
Somewhere between Playboy magazine 
     G
And next Tuesday night’s PTA 
C
Somewhere between a honky-tonk queen 
     G                    D
And what all the dog did today 


      G     (Chorus)
If a wife and a lover could be one of the same
        C                         G
what a beautiful world this would be 
                           D
And there would be us somewhere between lust 
                           G
And sitting home watching TV 



My wife’s a good cook but a man can’t exist on just bread 
And what I’m hungry for is the one thing I ain’t being fed 
I haven’t been shopping but there’s lot of bargains 
Walking through town tempting me 
And a body could rust on a diet of lust 
And sitting home watching TV 


  Repeat Chorus
