We could be the talk of the town tonight
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life

We could sail away to Tobago
Fly across the Gulf of Mexico
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped up in the quiet life

Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life

We could get a job on the movie screen
Smile on the cover of a magazine
Or we could just be man and wife
Happy in the quiet life

Where the clock don't move so quick
Where the water don't make you sick
Traffic don't keep you up at night
Here in the quiet life

Now and then I'm loving the world again
And I'll be fine living in the quiet life

Living in the quiet life
Sleeping by a firelight
Maybe I could make you smile
In the quiet life

We could be the talk of the town tonight
