Daddy’s watching the TV
Soon he’s nodding his head.
He’s not mindful of Mama,
He's just going to bed.
Moma’s walking ‘round real quiet,
On the down low and out of sight.
She's puttin' that red lipstick on and
Steppin’ out on Saturday night.
A dull life seems so exciting
Like a naughty child doin' somethin' wrong.
A shiver running down her spine
When she thinks of Daddy at home.
Out on the town signals flashing,
A low-flying Romeo.
One thing leads to another.
Steppin’ out on Saturday night.
Is it worth it all to
Take that spin of the wheel?
A big chance, a little romance,
Paying a lot for a thrill.
The stakes are sky high,
Losing what money can’t buy.
Ain't perfect, but that house is a home.
Beats steppin’ out on a Saturday night.
