Franz Nicolay - I Had a Good Time Tonight lyrics

Artist: Franz Nicolay

album: Bad Advice


It was winter in Austin
I'd caught a little bug
But me and Dave Dondero went to see Dale Watson
At the Continental Club
It was our day off, about it and Monday nights are slow
But I'd never seen him, and Dave really wanted to go.
It hadn't got that cold out, so inside was hot
I got a drink, and the air was like a 40 watt light bulb
Rockabilly girls & boys dancing, the hair and the moves
I've always had a soft spot, so I watched them as I waited for a booth
He did ads for Lone Star beer after every other song
And that sounded like a good idea.
I had a good time tonight
But it would've been better if I could've danced with my wife.
I had a good time tonight
But it could've been better if I would've danced.
It was winter in Austin
And now I had a little buzz
I watched the band, and for a while I forgot where I was
I reached back
To lead you to the dance floor
It was like reaching for the wind through the door
I had a good time tonight
But it would've been better if I could've danced with my wife.
I had a good time tonight
But it could've been better if I would've danced with my wife.
I had a good time tonight
But it could've been better if I would've danced...
On the street a bus parked on the sweating concrete
And I thought, "Isn't that neat. A metaphor where my baby should be."
I slept on someone's couch that night
With a ringing in my ears
Realized we hadn't been married half a year yet
Like fireflies, in our lives we appear & disappear
But each day, nearer and nearer
I had a good time tonight
But it would've been better if I could've danced with my wife.
I had a good time tonight
But it could've been better if I would've danced.
