Going Out Tonight — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter/John Jennings)

I`m going out tonight to find myself a friend
I need a welcome smile and the grasp of an open hand
Gonna sit for hours in a small dark place, catch up with a long lost face
And talk about how long it`s really been

I`m going out tonight with perfume on my wrist
I`m need to find someone to show me what I`ve missed
And when I see that someone sittin` there, gonna tell your memory I don`t care
If he offers something more than just a kiss

Underneath the moon so bright, I wanna fall tonight
Beneath a spell
Underneath the sky so clear, I wanna find someone waiting there
Who used to know me well

I`m going out tonight without a chaperone
I`m gonna leave that meddling heart of mine at home
`Cause it don`t like crowds or closing time, neon blues or pickup lines
It makes me spend my Friday nights alone

Underneath the moon so bright
Underneath the sky so clear
I`m gonna tell myself that someone I adore
Is the one I`m with, ain`t that what friends are for
`Cause my empty arms are open wide; I`m long on spite, and short on pride
And the old way isn`t working anymore

I`m going out tonight to find myself a friend
