I don't mind
All the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine
I know them all pretty well

[Chorus:]
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright
Sometimes
I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime
I know I gotta get away

[Chorus:]

And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright
I know if I go things'l be a lot better for her
I had things planned but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind
All the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine
I know them all pretty well

[Chorus:]

But I know sometimes I must get out of the light
Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright
Sometimes
I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime
I know I gotta get away

[Chorus:]

And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind, where the kids are alright

    This is a great cover of The Who song, and you know the DKM always nail their covers, and this one is no exception.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
