Going Out Tonight
Mary Chapin Carpenter Song Lyrics
(Mary Chapin Carpenter John Jennings) I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face And talk about how long it's really been I'm going out tonight with perfume on my wrist I'm need to find someone to show me what I've missed And when I see that someone sittin' there, gonna tell your memory I don't care If he offers something more than just a kiss Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight Beneath a spell Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there Who used to know me well I'm going out tonight without a chaperone I'm gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home 'Cause it don't like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines It makes me spend my Friday nights alone Underneath the moon so bright Underneath the sky so clear I'm gonna tell myself that someone I adore Is the one I'm with, ain't that what friends are for 'Cause my empty arms are open wide; I'm long on spite, and short on pride And the old way isn't working anymore I'm going out tonight to find myself a friend |
