Payday

Jesse Winchester

[Verse 1]
Let's go out on the town tonight
My pockets are heavy with loot
And get drunk and nasty
And loud and aggressive to boot
I've been living from hand to mouth
For what must be three or four weeks
And I can tell you one thing, Jack
You listen when your stomach speaks

[Chorus]
I feel good tonight just like I knew that I would
And all on account of that wine that I bought today
And I'm smiling so sweet for every little girl that I meet
And some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way
Yeah, it feels so funny having all this money today
I think I feel like dancing the night away

[Verse 2]
I got me this long-legged girl
To help me to spend my dough
A heart as big as your mama's stove
And a body like Brigitte Bardot
I'm all ready for some rock n roll
With the guitars up real loud
And some fancy footwork
In a low-down, boozed-up crowd

[Chorus]
Well, see I feel good Just like I knew that I would
And all on account of that wine that I bought today
And I'm smiling so sweet for every little girl that I meet
And some fools will try to tell you it's a sin to feel this way
I feel so funny having all this money today
I think I feel like dancing the night away
I think I feel like dancing the night away
