Lyrics

Dancing Tonight
Ed McDade c. 1995

I've been workin' all week long,
Just to get a little pay.
By the time I cash that check on Friday,
It's all spent anyway.
The money runs out before the week is done.
The weekend goes too fast.
Honey, let's do somethin' tonight,
See if we can make it last.

Let's go out dancin'. Let's put on our dancin' boots.
The time has come for you and me baby, to really cut loose.
Put on your print dress, and a pretty chapeau.
Darlin' pass me that comb.
We're gonna cut us a rug, do some steppin',
Till the cows come shufflin' home.

The highway stretches from miles of miles,
Through the smoke of all of them cars.
Everybody is pushin', honkin' and passin',
But they ain't getting far.
It's 5 PM, the rush is on,
Soon I'll be feelin' all right.
Let's pick up a six, grab a little dinner,
Head for those neon lights.

Chorus

We're deep in the red, we ain't seen the black,
So long that it's making me blue.
I want to shake off all of these troubles, honey.
Think I know what to do.
Roundup all the bills, will fling em out the window.
Let the other shoe drop.
We're goin' out tonight, where they play swingin' country,
Where the good times and music don't stop.
