Miscellaneous
Between Lust & Watching TV (1974)
The life that Iâm seeking is not in this bar where Iâm sitting
But itâs sure ainât at home where the one that Iâm married toâs knitting
Happiness may not be here drinking beer, feeling it go to my head
But it ainât back at home where sheâs putting in curlers and rollers and dressing for bed
What Iâm looking for ainât the blonde in the corner whoâs winking
But it sure ainât my wife who devoted her life to dumb thinking
Happiness surely still lives in this world and somewhere itâs waiting for me
And Iâm know that it must be somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV
Somewhere between Playboy magazine and next Tuesday nightâs PTA
Somewhere between a honky-tonk queen and what all the dog did today
If a wife and a lover could be one of the same what a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV
My wifeâs a good cook but a man canât exist on just bread
And what Iâm hungry for is the one thing I ainât being fed
I havenât been shopping but thereâs lot 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 nightâs PTA
Somewhere between a honky-tonk queen and what all the dog did today
If a wife and a lover could be one of the same what a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us somewhere between lust and sitting home watching TV
