Good Night to Be Lonely

Steve Holy

Tired of channel surfing
El Camino ain't working
Monday night an' I'm hurting
For company

Bummed a ride to the hideaway
I'm the only guy in the place
Bored silly, wasn't gonna stay
Then she walks in, Heaven sent
And it occurs to me

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

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
Maybe she could dance with me
She said, "Thought you'd never ask"

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

She's following, I'm leading
Feels just like I'm dreaming

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
A good night
A good night to be lonely
