Album: After the DanceBig Night Out
(Steve Mandile/Kim Parent)
Face in the mirror she's gettin' ready to go
Fussin' with her hair, singin' to the radio
The phone ring, ring, rings as she's slippin' on her jeans
Tighter than the law allows
Pedal to the floor she races downtown
For a big night out
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
On the other side of town there's a boy gettin' ready to go
TV dinner with one eye on the fishin' show
He's a hard workin' guy with a party on his mind
And this is just another night on the town
Little does he know the stars are in line
For a big night out
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
His heart's beatin' fast when he says hello
Somethin' in the airs sayin' take it slow
Old time, storybook love of their lives
Just might get started tonight
Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance
Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band
Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long
Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk
A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk
Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about
That's the makin's of a big night out
The makin's of a big night out
