Jonny Johnson - Out Playin #17
I was pursuin' what I wanted and got caught in the act.
The woman said, D'you see the signs, or are you blind as a bat
Blindness was not my problem I saw what I wanted
Discretion's not my specialty, and now she thinks I've plotted
With her spotlight shining' bright, I was standin' naked
If I'd have been of a different mind, I'd have been shaken
But my vision was clear, so I did what was right
I said, 'scuse me Miss, I'm still timing your yellow lights
Standing there, next to scared, I complimented her do
As if I'd mocked, she was shocked, she said, How dare you
Hey! Any gal with a cut like that pays attention to her style
Easy now! I'm saying Hi. Why don't we sit for a while
Soon our conversation went public when her friends did appear
They caught a scent of longin' lurkin' in the atmosphere
My desire stood trial against those pesky agents
But God and me was laughing at the constant test of patience
Pardon me, I said, I was talking to your friend
It's she I wanted to get to know and we're just getting' in
Well, she don't care to see a man with no money to his name
What good are you? And what society is it you will choose to blame
You know, you're right. I've no money to speak for me
But with my eyes, and by my side, I'll see who she'll choose to be
And with that, they disappeared, and I was free to roam
In the mornin' I rose to say, Hi, again. This time from a different home
