(Steve Mandile/Kim Parent)



Face in the mirror she's gettin' ready to go

Fussin' with her hair, singin' to the radio

The phone ring, ring, rings as she's slippin' on her jeans

Tighter than the law allows

Pedal to the floor she races downtown

For a big night out



Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance

Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band

Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long

Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk

A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk

Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about

That's the makin's of a big night out



On the other side of town there's a boy gettin' ready to go

TV dinner with one eye on the fishin' show

He's a hard workin' guy with a party on his mind

And this is just another night on the town

Little does he know the stars are in line

For a big night out



Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance

Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band

Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long

Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk

A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk

Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about

That's the makin's of a big night out



His heart's beatin' fast when he says hello

Somethin' in the airs sayin' take it slow

Old time, storybook love of their lives

Just might get started tonight



Headin' to the honky-tonk hopin' for a dance

Right across the street there's a smokin' blues band

Down on the corner Milly's grill's cookin' all night long

Take a girl with a curl and a rhythm in her walk

A boy in the corner gettin' courage up to talk

Ooh, ooh, ooh ain't that what it's all about

That's the makin's of a big night out

The makin's of a big night out
