lyrics

I can follow my job south or west,
But not to oversea.
The only time I crossed that ocean,
Was to serve my country.
I came home with some medals,
And some memories that I keep inside.
But they can’t rearrange the past ,
Or bring back the friends who died.

C Everyday’s a new day,
H Until it turns into the night.
O Then I can go off drinking,
R And I try not to pick a fight.
U But when I stumble home,
S The dawn chides me
And says that it ain’t right.
That I squander every new day,
By drinking and drifting through the night.

They closed the plant that I worked for,
When I was off at war.
I returned to unemployment
And debt collectors at my door.
I tried working down at Walmart’s.
But it didn’t pay the bills.
And every day I prayed,
That no one in the family fell ill.

CHORUS

Well, the wife packed up and left,
With the two kids by her side.
Said she could not hang around,
And watch as the spirit died.
I guess I couldn’t get too angry.
‘Cause I knew that she was right.
Who wants to back a boxer,
Who’s lost the will to fight.

CHORUS

Well, I hear all this talk,
About the new economy.
But I don’t see where I fit in,
In this recovery.
Well. bad times can’t last forever.
At least that’s what they say.
But why is it the uninvited guest,
That always stays.

Sometimes I feee lonely
Sometimes I feel afraid.
Sometimes I am embarrassed,
By mistakes that I have made.
And sometimes I have to wonder,
Where common sense has gone.
When stealing in a business suit,
Is not considered wrong.

Everyday’s a new day,
Until it turns into the night.
Then I can go off drinking,
But I try not to pick a fight.
When I stumble home,
The dawn chides me and says,
You know that it ain’t right.
That I squander every new day,
By drinking and drifting through the night.

Everyday’s a new day,
But I think that I’ll just wait,
For the night.
