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.
Chorus:
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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
That maybe she could dance with me
She said, "Thought you'd never ask."
Chorus:
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.
--- Instrumental ---
She's following, I'm leading
And it feels like I'm dreamin'.
Chorus:
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 real good night.
It's a good night, a good night to be lonely...
