Lyrics of Blue Collar Night by McAlister Kemp
verse
If you don't count the overtime, it's a 40-hour grind
The Aussie dream ain't easy when you're barely getting by
GST confuses me and what the hell is BAS
The only thing it's good for is setting a man back
chorus
But I got a 20 in my pocket, and I'm gettin' the first round
And there's a band in the corner, and they're gonna rock the house
And we're gonna play some poker, be laying down some bets
There's lots of pretty woman, beach blonds and hot brunettes
We might get lucky, if we play our cards right
But chances are we'll just get drunk and end up in a fight
hook
Singing whoa-oh-oh-oh
All the way home
Yeah, we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night
verse
Still live in that red brick flat, me and Kelly found
Fridge covered in stickers and a patched up vinyl couch
Been two years since I seen her leave in that XF
When I look around this dump, yeah, I see why she left
chorus
But I've been savin' up my money, started goin' back to school
And I'm learning them computers and maybe in a year or two
I can start a little business and if I get it off the ground
I can talk the bank into a loan for that place we dreamed about
And I bet she'll come crawling back, I'll be sittin' here 'til then
Drinkin' beer and throwin' darts and laughing with my friends
chorus
Singing whoa-oh-oh-oh
All the way home
Yeah, we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night
verse
I came home to Kelly's voice coming out of my machine
Said that Queensland sunshine's even better than I dreamed
I played that message 3 more times, called my buddy Steve
I said let's go, he said I'm broke, I said grab your keys
chorus
'Cause I've got a 20 in my pocket, and I'm gettin' the first round
There's a band in the corner and they're gonna rock the house
We're gonna play some poker, be laying down some bets
There's lots of pretty woman, beach blonds and hot brunettes
Yeah, we might get lucky, if we play our cards right
Chances are we'll just get drunk and end up in a fight
outro
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
All the way home
Yeah, we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar
It's a blue collar night (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
All the way home
Yeah, we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
All the way home
Yeah, we'll shoot out the lights
outro
It's a blue collar
It's a blue collar night (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
All the way home
It's a blue collar night
