[VERSE 1]

 

It was half past five when I pulled into the drive

Just an ordinary Friday night

But I didn’t hear a sound, not a soul was around

I was thinking something wasn’t right

Then I saw her in the doorway, dressed up to get away

Just like she used to do

She said, close your eyes, I got a little surprise

Tonight it’s just me and you

 

[CHORUS]

 

The week is done, mama wants to run

Let her hair blow in the wind

Put the windows down, let’s head to town

She wants to feel like a woman again

Yeah, it’s her turn, let the candle burn

Gonna dance til the morning light

Cause the kids are gone, all night long

And Mama’s havin’ fun tonight

 

[VERSE 2]

 

She said,

I got the clothes off the line, had a half a glass of wine

Honey, I’m feeling right

Left the kids with your sister, now I’m wound up like a twister

Wanna have a little fun tonight

It’s been a long day, I’ve got the urge to play

I need to get out and unwind

Causing raising five, is about to drive

This mama out of her mind

 

[REPEAT CHORUS]

 

[VERSE 3]

 

She said,

I’m tired of baby wipers, tired of stinky little diapers

And I got no floors to wax

No screamin’ and a crying, need my own pacifying

Wanna kick back and relax

Just a one night vacation, with adult conversation

A little passion and romance

Cause it’s Friday night, not a kid in sight

And mama only gets one chance

 

[REPEAT CHORUS]
