" I'm That Kind of Girl"
U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon had just told his girlfriend, Sunshine MacGillicutty that he would be (1.) Working For The Weekend
and unable to spend any time with her......He'd sleep in his old cot at the the office/jail.
Matt: " A cattle drive will be coming through, Sunny. I need to be there, in case of trouble. (2.) When It's Over, I'll will right back in your lovin' arms." He looked serious:

Sunshine:"I've got a better idea, baby. I'll get a room at Ma Smalley's or at the Dodge House. Then we can still be together."
Matt:" No way. I do NOT want you in town when all those wild *** cowboys are there.......too much potential for trouble. No.......Please do as I say." She reluctantly nodded her head.
Matt bid her adieu, and then rode the few miles to town. He liked the idea of her being at the farm and NOT anywhere near all the rukus that these cowhands were sure to cause !
About an hour after he left, Festus Haggen came riding out to see Sunshine. He told her that one of their singer for the night's activities had taken ill....would she like to fill in for him.....maybe strap on her guitar and belt out a few tunes. She was delighted. Not only would she get a chance to perform, but she'd be in Dodge, able to be close to Matt!!
To herself:" Well, he never said not to come to town....just not to SLEEP in town.
Festus and the boys were slotted to sing at the old red barn that evening. As they set up for the evening's proceedings, Sunshine scanned the crowd....nope. Matt was not in the crowd. Sure enough, though, there were LOTS of folks....mostly good old boys who had been on the trail.......a
LONG time.....if you get my drift!!

The band soon launched into their first number.....a real rebel rouser : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3oy_0Hqv2Y
The Town Stud, Rodman Crowell sang lead....Sunshine did keyboard and back up singing. ( If his pants were any tighter!)
The audience loved it!! Whiskey was a' flowin' and everyone was hoppin' and a boppin' !! http://polar3.home.att.net/oct-04-pics/rock-and-roll.jpg
Pretty soon it was time for Sunshine to take the lead. Festus introduced her to the crowd: "And now, may I present the lady singer/guitarist of the '70's. She's so dad blamned good, she'll also be the(4.) Lady Of The 80's !!"
As she took center stage, the audience, mostly males, broke into whistles and cheers.
Sunshine started tapping out the intro....." (3.)Take Me To The Top, boys.....ONE TWO THREE FOUR....

The more she sang, the the more exuberant the crowd became. One guy in particular was going wild at the sight of her:http://us.inmagine.com/img/image100/00149/00149061.jpg
Sunshine was (5.) Loving Every Minute Of It !! She knew how to work a crowd and she was in top form.
As she began the last verse, who should walk in and see her.....uh, oh........ MATT!!!!!! And he appeared VERY concerned about the whole thing:

I was working for the weekend when this lady of the 80 approached me and asked me where she could find more hairspray. We talked for a minute, because I am not that great with directions, and finally I told her that I would get in the car with her and she could take me to the top of the hill and I could point at the place. Well, I live in San Francisco and she was driving this really cool sportscar, I think it was a 280zx, anyway, I was loving every minute of it as we accelerated up that hill and I got out of the car, and pointed to Chow-chings corner store and told her to come back and we could go to watch the Richard Simmons TV show, and then when it's over, we can go to the boardwalk for some chardonnay and tilapia.

I was once a lonely man, watching for just a bit love. Then, in the future I met her at a restaurant wherein she was once ready on tables. She was once probably the most lovely girl on the planet in my eyes. When she got here to take my order, I struck up a talk. We get on well proper from the begin. Then she instructed me, "I'm off in half-hour". "Great!", I spoke back, "We can pass & have a few ice cream". So, we had our first date, our moment, our 3rd & so on. I was once head-over-heels in love. One day, I requested her, "Can we be extra than simply peers? What do you assert?" "Of path", she mentioned, "You're the finest guy I in no way knew". Then we laughed. Well, just like the music says, the guts may not lie, however she did. I bought an electronic mail in the future where she mentioned, "I've been seeing this different man for awhile. He's a self-made millionaire who can provide me some thing I desire. I've determined I'd instead be with him. 'Bye". Just like that, she was once long past. Well, if I had handiest identified that she'd end up a gold-digger, I might've run to the closest go out. I obviously would've spared myself the heartache. But, I bought over her & I'm doing larger than ever, when you consider that I'm a survivor!

I was at my cousin Bubba's house one night playing poker with the guys. I glanced at my watch & said, "OMG! I gotta get home & get to bed!" "Bed?" asked Bubba, "Whatever for?" I answered, "I have to be at work bright & early. Some of us actually work for a living". The other guys said in chorus, "Well, we're all just working for the weekend!" Bubba said, "Hey, come back tomorrow night. We're gonna have a beer drinkin' contest". "No thanks", I replied, "Just call me when it's over".
The next day, after work, I went to the public library to look for a book. When I stepped into the elevator, there was a drop-dead gorgeous blonde who smiled & asked me, "What floor?" She had me so spellbound I just stood there like an idiot. She truly looked like a lady of the 80's. I finally stuttered, "J-j-just take me to the top". She got off at the 2nd floor & I went to the 3rd. It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't even get her name. But it was too late.
Back at home, I was relaxing in front of the TV when the phone rang. The caller ID told me it was Bubba. He said, "Hey Carl, we just had a beer drinkin' contest". "How'd it go?", I asked. Bubba replied, "Well, everyone's either pukin' or passed out on the floor. I ain't feelin' too good myself. 'Scuse me a minute". After about a minute, he came back to the phone & told me, "Dude, I just lost my dinner". All I could do was laugh. Bubba asked me, "Do you think that's funny?" "Yep", I said, "I'm loving every minute of it!" Then I hung up & went back to my TV show.
