Mcalister Kemp Lyrics
"Blue Collar Night"

[Verse 1]
If you don't count the overtime it's a 40-hour grind
The Ozzy 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

[Verse 2]
But I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm getting' 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
And we might get lucky, if we play our cards right
Chances are we'll just get drunk and end up in a fight

[Chorus]
Singing whoa, all the way home..
Yeah we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night.

[Verse 3]
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.

[Verse 4]
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 till then
Drinkin' beer and throwin' darts and laughing with my friends.

[Chorus]
Singing whoa, all the way home..
Yeah we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night.

[Verse 5]
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

Cause I've got a 20 in my pocket and I'm getting' 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
And we might get lucky, if we play our cards right
Chances are we'll just get drunk and end up in a fight

[Chorus]
Whoa all the way home
Yeah we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar... it's a blue collar night
Singing whoa, all the way home..
Yeah we'll shoot out the lights
It's a blue collar night.
