C D G Em
SHE'S SMILING AT THIS ONE AND LOVING ON THAT
C D
WELL IT;S SATURDAY NIGHT AND SHE'S OUT AGAIN
IT'S BEEN HALF A YEAR SEEMS TWICE AS LONG
THE KID'S HAVE EACH OTHER BUT SHE'S STILL ALL ALONE
SHE LOOSES HER MIND WHEN SHE LOOKS FOR HER HEART
BUT THE LOST AND FOUND'S A BETTER PLACE TO START
THAN THE BARROOMS AND BEDROOMS OF ALL THE TUMBLE INNS
SHE STUMBLES EVERY TIME AND GOES BACK AGAIN
BUT YOU HAVE TO ADMIRE HER STYLE- SHE STILL PAINTS THE TOWN
SHE'S JUST RUNNING NOT RUNNING YOU DOWN
