(Michael Dulaney / Jason Sellers

Tired of channel surfing
El Camino ain't working
it's Monday night and I'm hurtin' for company
bummed a ride to the hideaway
I'm the only guy in the place
bored silly wasn't gonna stay
then she walked in, heaven sent
and it occurs to me

(chorus)

What a good night to be lonely
somebody's looking out for me
oh what an opportunity
right out of the blue
is it luck or a twist of fate
doesn't really matter either way
it's a good night, a good night to be lonely

Dollars worth of quarters
played some songs and ordered
one for me and one for her as I tipped my hat
said that she felt restless
just moved here from Texas
that's when I suggested
maybe she could dance with me
she said thought you'd never ask

(chorus)

(bridge)

She's following I'm leading
and it feels like I'm dreamin'

(chorus)
