Cover art for Ladies' Nite In Buffalo? lyrics by David Lee Roth

It's about a guy who feels he was lulled into marriage with the promise of the stars but feels like his partner let down their end of the bargain. He's got his kids in the background and responsibilities but despite how much trouble he could get into (heat/sidewalk steaming = too hot/risky to go wandering) he's reconsidering his relationship. He's been out on the prowl before and all the songs he listens to reinforce his wandering narrative.

The guy ends up in a bar on ladies night where he trots out the same old cliche pick up lines at a lady/potential lover who like him is a frequent visitor to the bar and who is also in pursuit of a shallow hook-up.
