Nothing to do, nowhere to go to Just me and the baby eating straight from the jar Half past eight, dad calls says he has to work late But I heard the jukebox playing down at the bar Ain't you getting sleepy Tired of putting up the fight Been fed and changed Now it's time to say goodnight Mama needs a margarita A slow song and two strong arms to lead A pretty red dress and a new pair of dancing shoes A long straight highway No cops to get in my way A Texas roadhouse and a band to play the blues I used to be the one who stayed out late Used to drink my tequila straight Boys standing in line To take me out on the dancing floor Two-steppers and two-timers Seven sins and one-liners We'd tip our glasses back and call out for more Ain't you getting sleepy Heard this story too many times Just close your eyes little darlin' It's time to say goodnight Mama needs a margarita A slow song and two strong arms to lead A pretty red dress and a new pair of dancing shoes A long straight highway No cops to get in my way A Texas roadhouse and a band to play the blues A long straight highway No cops to get in my way A dream of a life somewhere beyond these blues A dream of a life somewhere beyond these blues
