Song information
The stresses of life in this post modern so-called “civilization” can really get to folks. We all seek to find ways of coping with them. If we’re not careful though, some of those ways can become moderately to seriously self-destructive.

As Mr. Miyagi advised in the movie “The Karate Kid”:

“Go and find balance…”

Sound thinking, that!

I sing and make a lot of noise in this one.

Lyrics
BOYS NIGHT OUT

I
Well… 
When Friday evenin’ comes around again,
he makin’ plans with his best friend.
Seem like the workin’ week never end.

II
He’s slavin’ nine to five on that factory floor.
Eight hours assemblin’ parts is such a bore.
Time comes to punch the clock and he’s out the door.

Chorus:
He gonna mask that frown!
He gonna paint the town!
He gonna chase that sound!
The bass and drum will pound,
until he’s numbed his soul again…
He gotta jump and shout!
That’s what he’s all about!
Well it’s the way he choose,
to let off steam and lose those proletarian blues…

Bridge:
When he was young heard the Spirit’s voice within,
and he walked with his God thru life’s valley;
but o’er the years he has somehow slipped his gears,
now he’s stumblin’ down a blind and empty alley.

III
Monday through Friday workin’ for the Man.
He feels the squeeze, but does what he can.
Life slippin’ through his fingers like the sand.

IV
Keeps one eye open for a better way.
He won’t find it till he learns to pray…
but for now he don’t have much to say.
Lookout!

Chorus:
He gonna mask that frown!
He gonna paint the town!
He gonna chase that sound!
The bass and drum will pound,
until his soul is numb again…
He gotta jump and shout!
That’s what he’s all about!
Well it’s the way he choose,
to let off steam and lose those proletarian blues…
Yeah!

Balance is a word I have kept in mind.. for  decades.. Mike, you're a playing, singing, composing energizer bunny.. I can't keep up with all your songs but here I am at this one.. and I so enjoyed the energy of this. As always, your lyrics are thought provoking. You're upthere with the best of them.

The working week sometimes makes me want to go build a cabin in the woods and disappear with my guitars....but that probably wouldn't be very balanced either! Anyway, this is a very fun rocker, and you're great at tapping into powerful universal themes with your lyrics 👍🎸

As said in a Star Wars movie, "The Force is strong in this one" I must say about you, "the lyrics are strong in this one"  Loved the tune Mike. Keep em coming !

I understand. "Go find balance" is an easy thing to say. Tricky as **** to execute!
Glad you enjoyed the tune...

I didn't understand your comment. Looked up Steve Otter. Understood it even less!
I do, however, appreciate your listening and commenting.

@Wyndsok , In Otter News has a character called Steve, who always does his best. He is Magnificent, Human, Funny, Wise .. and an Otter. I apologise for making a clumsy reference association. Sometimes I try too hard to be funny. I just wanted to say this is a delight.

Great rocking song as usual.   Vocals are great and the guitar work super rocks.   I could almost hear Jet doing this song, if you remember them from the early 2000's.
