Friday Night Blues

(album: Friday Night Blues - 1980)

He's been working all week he's got mental fatigue and that old couch sure looks fine
All week he's been gone she's been sitting alone slowly going out of her mind
As he kicks off his shoes for the six o'clock news she's getting all prettied up
While she's wanting to boogie he wants to lay there she's got the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down
Aw, and there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her a night on the town
But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals has got him feeling used
While he's kicking his shoes off she's putting hers on 'cause she's got the Friday night blues

Oh, there once was a time she was top of the line her nights like teenage dreams
Now it's operas at noon, dancing round with her broom talking to the washing machine
Oh, the girl down the street says her old man is neat and makes it sound so true
Now she's feeling lonely thinks she's the only one with the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down
Aw, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her a night on the town
But the hills and the bills and a week full of deals has got him feeling used
While he's kicking his shoes off she's putting hers on 'cause she's got the Friday night blues

Oh, those Friday night blues they get in your shoes and they work to get you down
Aw, but there ain't a lady that I ever knew who didn't need her a night on the town
