good night to be lonely

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

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

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

she's following i'm leading

and it feels like i'm dreamin'

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
