Paint The Town

Words and Music

My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight
She wants to go out and see the beautiful sights
But I don't care what she wants to do
I'm gonna stay right here and make love to you
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight

Baby wants to paint the town
My Baby wants to go downtown
Wine and dine, dance sing
Go downtown to make the scene
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight

I gotta be at work every morn by a quarter of eight
I can’t miss work or even be a little late
I push that pencil all day long
Wishin’ to God I was long long gone

I called my baby on my brand new digital phone
Just to say hello, but she wasn’t home
She wasn’t there, she was out on the town
Buying herself another brand new gown
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight

Baby wants to paint the town
My Baby wants to go downtown
Wine and dine, dance sing
Go downtown to make the scene
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight

I gotta be at work every morn by a quarter of eight
I can’t miss work or even be a little late
I push that pencil all day long
Wishin’ to God I was long long gone

I quit my job and went back home to Texas
Down to Barton Springs ’cause that’s where my heart is
I went to a place that I used to know
Where the livin’ is easy and the lovin’ slow
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight

Baby wants to paint the town
My Baby wants to go downtown
Wine and dine, dance sing
Go downtown to make the scene
My Baby wants to go out and paint the town tonight
