Paint the Town Tonight
Embracing Freedom: Marty Stuart's 'Paint the Town Tonight' Meaning
Lyrics
You left without a sign or a warning
You departed without any indication or advance notice
I'm still holding some questions in my mind
I still have unresolved questions in my thoughts
In case you might ask how I'm a doin'
In case you inquire about my well-being
Here's what I think you're gonna find
Here's what I believe you will discover
I'm tired of mopin'. hopin', waiting on the telephone
I'm weary of feeling down, anticipating, and waiting by the phone
I oughta know by now you ain't a gonna come back home
By now, I should realize you won't return home
I'm goin' dancin', romancin', gonna love every girl in sight
I'm going to dance, engage in romance, and embrace every girl I encounter
I might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight
I might fret about tomorrow, but tonight I'll enjoy the city
Well, I found me a honky tonk that loves me
I found a honky-tonk that appreciates me
And I'll close it down about daylight
I'll stay there until the early morning
'Cause me and my personal friends are a celebrating
My close friends and I are celebrating
And with every round you fade more out of sight
With each round, your memory fades further away
I'm tired of mopin'. hopin', waiting on the telephone
I'm tired of feeling down, anticipating, and waiting by the phone
I oughta know by now you ain't a gonna come back home
I should realize by now that you won't return home
I'm goin' dancin', romancin', gonna love every girl in sight
I'm going to dance, engage in romance, and embrace every girl I encounter
I might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight
I might worry about tomorrow, but tonight I'll enjoy the city
Yeah, I'm might worry tomorrow but I'll paint the town tonight
Yes, I might worry about tomorrow, but tonight I'll enjoy the city
