Classic Country Lyrics: "Between Lust And Watching TV" von Bill Anderson

Bill Anderson (links) schrieb diesen Titel, doch es
war Cal Smith (rechts), der damit einen Hit lan-
den konnte.

The life that I'm seeking
Is not in this bar where I'm sitting
But it sure ain't at home 
Where the one that I'm married to is knitting

Happiness may not be here drinking beer 
Feeling it go to my head
But it ain't back at home where she's putting in curlers
And rollers and dressing for bed

What I'm looking for ain't 
The blonde in the corner who's winking
But it sure ain't my wife 
Who's devoted her life to dumb thinking

Happiness surely still lives in this world 
And somewhere it's waiting for me
And I know that it must be somewhere 
Between lust and sitting home watching TV

Somewhere between Playboy magazine 
And next Tuesday night's PTA
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen 
And what all the dog did today

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same 
What a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us somewhere between lust 
And sitting home watching TV

My wife's a good cook 
But a man can't exist just on bread
But what I'm hungry for 
Is the one thing that I ain't being fed

I haven't been shopping but there's lots 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 night's PTA
Somewhere between a honky tonk queen 
And what all the dog did today

If a wife and a lover could be one and the same 
What a beautiful world this would be
And there would be us somewhere between lust 
And sitting home watching TV
