"The Way I Feel Tonight" lyrics

Two streets up and two more back
Right next door to the railroad track
Take your wine in a paper sack
If you want to stay alive

A girl named Rita and a drunk old man
Living like cats in a garbage can
Take my word, old Rita
Sure can make you feel alive

So put out the lights and pour the wine
We ain't good looking but we're looking fine
Dancing and spinning in the light
Slam the shutters and shut the shades
We'll never get to heaven but we got it made
Things ain't great but things'll be alright
Lord I wish I had a bottle
Of the way I feel tonight

She don't ask too much of me
Like the girls in Tennessee
She don't need no guarantee
To make a cowboy smile

She don't wonder where I've been
She just digs the mood I'm in
She just wants to live in sin
And shake it up awhile

So put out the lights and pour the wine
We ain't good looking but we're looking fine
Dancing and spinning in the light
Slam the shutters and shut the shades
We'll never get to heaven but we got it made
Things ain't great but things'll be alright
Lord I wish I had a bottle
Of the way I feel tonight

So put out the lights and pour the wine
We ain't good looking but we're looking fine
Dancing and spinning in the light
Slam the shutters and shut the shades
We'll never get to heaven but we got it made
Things ain't great but things'll be alright
Lord I wish I had a bottle
Of the way I feel tonight
Yeah, I wish I had a bottle
Of the way I feel tonight
