Another nice one. I’m narrowing it down!


FRIDAY NIGHT BLUES
Words and music by Al Parsons
As recorded by Al Parsons on “Notebook” (2005)

Moon breakin’ through a fluffy sky
Shinin’ on the last couple walkin’ down West Nine
Late-night bus wantin’ to sway(or “wantin’ its way”?) into Third
Dude at the Sub Stop outside gettin’ the word
All these Saturday-mornin’, laid-out(or “late out”?) Friday-night blues

Video jockey in an all-night arcade
Romancin’ things with some moves I can’t make
I’ve sat an’ watch ’em all come and they go
I’ve never seen a straight one now, don’t you know?
All these Saturday-mornin’ laid-out Friday-night blues

They all say they’re gettin’ out o’ this town
I ain’t seen one leave since I’ve been aroun’
But you know I’ll be gettin’ out o’ here
I’m out, baby, when I down this beer
All these Saturday-mornin’ laid-out Friday-night blues.
All these Saturday-mornin’ laid-out Friday-night blues.
