about

A night on the town

lyrics

Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat
Words and music by David Michael King ©2011 (BMI)

I work hard, play by the rules
Friday night, I put away my tools
I wanna drink, a smoke, and then a few more
Short skirts and a steamy dance floor
Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat

No bright lights, no fancy drinks for me
I wanna dive where I can hardly see
I don’t want a lounge with some uptown groove
Just a packed dance floor where I can barely move
Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat

I wanna band that’ll free my soul
With a little bit of country, a lot of rock ‘n’ roll
Wrap your lovin’ arms around me
Feel the heat climb to a hundred and three
Take me to a bar on the seedy side of town
Somethin’ happens to me when the sun goes down
Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat

I got feelings I just can’t ignore
We could stay out all night long and I’d want more
The band is playin’ at a fever pitch
I wanna scratch but I can’t find the itch
Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat

I wanna band that’ll free my soul
With a little bit of country, a lot of rock ‘n’ roll
Wrap your lovin’ arms around me
Feel the heat climb to a hundred and three
By the light of day, I’m a good little boy
But after dark I play with other toys
Beer, Smoke, Skin and Sweat.
