Cal Smith - Between Lust and Watching T.V. lyrics

rate me

<br>

written by Bill Anderson<br>

<br>

The life that I'm seeking<br>

Is not in this bar where I'm sitting<br>

But it sure ain't at home <br>

Where the one that I'm married to is knitting<br>

<br>

Happiness may not be here drinking beer <br>

Feeling it go to my head<br>

But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers<br>

And rollers and dressing for bed<br>

<br>

What I'm looking for ain't <br>

The blonde in the corner who's winking<br>

But it sure ain't my wife <br>

Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking<br>

<br>

Happiness surely still lives in this world <br>

And somewhere it's waiting for me<br>

And I know that it must be somewhere <br>

Between lust and sitting home watching TV<br>

<br>

Somewhere between Playboy magazine <br>

And next Tuesday night's PTA<br>

Somewhere between a honky tonk queen <br>

And what all the dog did today<br>

<br>

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same <br>

What a beautiful world this would be<br>

And there would be us somewhere between lust <br>

And sitting home watching TV<br>

<br>

My wife's a good cook <br>

But a man can't exist just on bread<br>

But what I'm hungry for <br>

Is the one thing that I ain't being fed<br>

<br>

I haven't been shopping but there's lots of bargains <br>

Walking through town tempting me<br>

And a body could rust on a diet of lust <br>

And sitting home watching TV<br>

<br>

Somewhere between Playboy magazine <br>

And next Tuesday night's PTA<br>

Somewhere between a honky tonk queen <br>

And what all the dog did today<br>

<br>

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same <br>

What a beautiful world this would be<br>

And there would be us somewhere between lust <br>

And sitting home watching TV<br>

<br>
