A Friday in the Life of Richard and Betty Lyrics by ​dodie

2022

[Verse 1]
It's 7.15, and Richard and Betty are waking up soon
The dog's on the bed, the paper's unread
The sun fades the moon
No one is waiting
Or tapping their foot
Richard and Betty are sleeping
And the world doesn't look
[Verse 2]
It's Friday
They both strip the bed, laundry day of the week
Taking it slow
The wind softly blows through the sweet smelling sheets
No one is waiting
Rich takes her hand
And he spins Betty carefully
The slowest slow dance
And he says
[Chorus]
I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No, there's nowhere that I'd rather be
My wife is a beauty
My life is a doozy
I've been smiling since '73
Thank God we said goodbye to the city
You'll never take me there alive (You'll never take me alive)
One car, no phone, might not be as pretty
But what else would I need when you're by my side
[Verse 2]
They go to the diner
And Betty picks salad to leave room for pie
Her face lights up as she chews
And there's no better view for Richard tonight
No one is waiting
The pie is so sweet
The kids left ten years ago
Diner Day is the best day of the week
Betty says
[Chorus]
I think we hacked it
Maybe we cracked it
No, there's nowhere that I'd rather be
I still feel it all
Since we kissed in the fall
After dancing in '73
Thank God we said goodbye to the city
You'll never take me there alive (You'll never take me alive)
One car, no phone, might not be as pretty
But my God, it feels good with just you by my side
[Bridge]
Make a home in nowhere
(Thank God we said goodbye to the city)
Make a home with me
(I still feel it all since we kissed in the fall)
Make a home in nowhere
(One car, no phone, might not be as pretty)
Make a home with me
(Thank God we said goodbye)
[Outro]
Richard and Betty turn out the light
The day is now done
Holding hands as they sleep
They both end the week
Ready for another one
