(Bill Rhodes)

I left our hometown for the weekend on a big business deal

And I would close behind you my excuse is sharp and drill

My only business is our pleasure and I don't bother things I won't

Cause we're playing house away from home

We're playing house away from home our names and faces are unknown

Everyone thinks that we're man and wife

We even wear our wedding rings and we don't try to hide this thing

Cause we're playing house away from home

[ steel ]

We'll get up in the morning I'll go my way and I'll go mine

And go home to act like strangers and hope no one can tell

That we have left all the bills from actin' right and doin' wrong

Cause we're playing house away from home

We're playing house...

Yes we're playing house away from home
