LYRICSSS

It’s 7.15, and Richard and
Betty are waking up soon
The dog’s on the bed, newspaper unread, the sun fades the moon
no one is waiting
or tapping their foot
Betty and Richard are sleeping
And the world doesn’t look

It’s Friday, they both strip the bed, laundry day of the week
taking it slow, the wind softly blows through the sweet smelling sheets
no one is waiting
rich takes her hand
He spins Betty carefully
the slowest slow dance

And he says

I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No there’s no where that I’d rather be
My wife is a beauty
My life is a doozy
I’ve been smiling since ‘73
thank god
We said
Goodbye to the city
You’ll never take me there alive
One car
No phone
might not be as pretty
But what else would I need when you're by my side

They go to the diner, and Betty picks salad to leave room for pie
Her face lights up as she chews
and there’s no better view for Richard tonight
No one is waiting
the pie is so sweet
The kids left ten years ago, and Diner Day is the best day of the week
betty says

I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No there’s no where that I’d rather be
I still feel it all
Since we kissed in the fall
After dancing in ‘73
thank god
We said
Goodbye to the city
You’ll never take me there alive
One car
No phone
might not be as pretty
but my god I feel good with just you by my side


Make a home in nowhere
Make a home with me
(Thank god we said goodbye to the city)
Make a home in nowhere
(I still feel it all
Since we kissed in the fall)
Make a home with me
(one car, no phone, might not be as pretty)

Richard and Betty turn out the light
The day is now done
Holding hands as they sleep
They end the long week
Ready for another one
