"Good Night to Be Lonely"
(Michael Dulaney / Jason Sellers
Tired of channel surfing
El Camino ain't working
it's Monday night and I'm hurtin' for company
bummed a ride to the hideaway
I'm the only guy in the place
bored silly wasn't gonna stay
then she walked in, heaven sent
and it occurs to me
(chorus)
What a good night to be lonely
somebody's looking out for me
oh what an opportunity
right out of the blue
is it luck or a twist of fate
doesn't really matter either way
it's a good night, a good night to be lonely
Dollars worth of quarters
played some songs and ordered
one for me and one for her as I tipped my hat
said that she felt restless
just moved here from Texas
that's when I suggested
maybe she could dance with me
she said thought you'd never ask
(chorus)
(bridge)
She's following I'm leading
and it feels like I'm dreamin'
(chorus)
