Story Behind The Song
I grew up in a mountain town in a poor family. In fact almost everyone was poor. But on the weekends they would go to Big Wheels, the only bar and would dance and have a great time.
Song Description
This song is about a hard-woman gather at a nearby music place to listen to a band who plays songs about people like her, living pay check to paycheck.

Lyrics
Headed for a Good Time Tonight
Penelope Torribio
I'm headed for a good time tonight, Ah ha!
headed for a good time tonight. Yah Hoo!
Going to hear my favorite country band,
with my favorite country man,
and I'm headed for a good time tonight.
This week it's been long and hard,
going sown to our favorite country bar.
Gonna dance and sing along to those good old country songs
and we're headed for a good time tonight.
Headed for a good time tonight, Ah ha!
Headed for a good time tonight. Yah Hoo!
Going to hear my favorite country band,
with my favorite country man,
and I'm headed for a good time tonight.
We've got our problems that is true,
but we aint staying home feeling blue.
Heck with the bills we're going to kick up our heels,
and we're headed for a good time tonight.
Gonna put my new blue dress on,
dance every dance all night long,
when it's time to go home,
I'm gonna make that man my own,
and we're headed for a good time tonight.
Headed for a good time tonight, Ah ha!
Headed for a good time tonight. Yah Hoo!
Going to hear my favorite country band,
with my favorite country man,
and I'm headed for a good time tonight.
