One Of Them Damn Days |
It was Monday or Tuesday |
Or one of them damn days |
I was staring backwards from the sun |
Through an unrelenting haze |
I was shaking, reaching for my cup |
Trying to stir my life around |
'Cause I thought I saw my baby |
On the other side of town |
They were just ten and eleven |
And almost seventeen |
She was barely thirty-five herself |
When I turned drunk and mean |
Someone said they seen 'em back |
Why would they come around |
But I thought I saw my baby |
On the other side of town |
Now the drunkard, he will go to lengths |
To justify his state |
But the truth is even one’s too much |
When a hundred will not sate |
Like a wrecking ball slung through the lives |
Of all to whom he’s bound |
Well, I thought I saw my baby |
On the other side of town |
Well, I thought if I could make amends |
And somehow get in touch |
But then I had to take a drink |
And it was all too much |
I drank the whole rest of the day |
I drank that bottle down |
'Cause I thought I saw my baby |
On the other side of town |
It was Monday or Tuesday |
Or one of them damn days |
They keep comin' ever after |
Nothing changes, nothing stays |
Just a flickering in black and white |
An image with no sound |
And I think I see my baby |
On the other side of town |
