Another Day 03:12
Welcome to another day The pounding on your door is opportunity Don’t let it slip away Coffee’s on before it’s light All the good intentions in your waking world Won’t make a damn thing right Start the car Daydream through rush hour Rank and file Imagine another day Standing there with feet of clay You’ll aspire only to complacency And then you’ll fade away Take another coffee break Swear you’ll keep that list of private promises You can’t afford to make Realize You’re just killing time Convince yourself Tomorrow is another day You could spend a lifetime Examining where you’ve been But you’ve got to walk in a straight line You can’t just circle around again You’ve got to live like you have not got another day

Somewhere someone’s working hard And someone’s hardly working Somewhere someone’s happy to be alive In this land of enterprise good taste is a burden Leadership and shuttered eyes, following the herd and Don’t be surprised if you’re not happy to be alive Check statistics, know the facts, always be productive Look ahead, forget the past, don’t live today We must work for the future, but I say live while you’re alive I will put no stock in modern myth Won’t believe everything I see in print I will blaze my own trail and enjoy the time I’ve been given And I’ll let you know that I’m alive Sacrifice to get ahead, believe that it’s worthwhile Follow everywhere you’re led, go that extra mile But the truth is all the things you’ve been told are lies You will measure your success by the things you own But what you drive and how you dress won’t change the fact you’re known By a number, so have a drink and just survive When everything you want is always out of reach You work a little harder, try a little harder Maybe someday you’ll open up your eyes and see You can’t get any farther Ask yourself why

Fiction 03:30
You might be surprised that I still think about you Wondering where you are and how your life has been Everyday I try to be in all the places Where we both might meet and fall in love again I can’t separate the fiction from the brutal fact Sometimes this nostalgia threatens to asphyxiate I’m anachronistic; am I dreaming or awake Doesn’t really matter what kind of sad state I’m in I know that you’re with me when we cease to start the end I can’t separate the fiction from the brutal fact Time keeps marching blindly forward There’s no going back You might be surprised but I still dream about you Wondering where you are and how your life has been It would not surprise me if I learned that you still care Or was that just something that I will have read somewhere

Though I hear it from you everyday Lately girl I just can’t believe it It’s only said when you need something to say You never make it sound like you mean it Those three words that people say don’t mean anything to you Next time try to look me in the eye When love is for real it’s not just playing a part Next time you tell me that you love me It’s gotta come from the heart Somehow I knew we couldn’t last for long You don’t think, you just smile and say it Like it’ll fix up everything that’s wrong Sorry honey, that just doesn’t make it That little phrase you always use means nothing at all to you All that I’m asking is that you mean it when you say it If you want my love that’s the only price Are you willing to pay it

And when you think it all over And you decide you can’t go on Just another day older And nowhere is as far as you have gone And everybody’s got advice That starts to sound like stuff You’ve already heard a thousand times The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step True wisdom only comes from pain Crawl your way up to the top and Someone will be waiting there to knock you off And then you've gotta get back on that horse again And when you’re clean and sober And realize you’ve had enough So much weight on your shoulders And no one told you life would be so rough And everything that people say Is rearranged and paraphrased, but still an old cliché The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step God works His will in mysterious ways And everything is for the best And if you ask me, I might suggest Your luck is bound to change (because) Every cloud has a silver lining Good things come to those who wait All you need is a little timing It’ll work out, you know it’s never too late The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step True wisdom only comes from pain The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step God works His will in mysterious ways And everything is for the best And if you ask me, I might suggest I tell you once again The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step God works His will in mysterious ways And everything is for the best And if you ask me, I might suggest You don't listen to a word I say

Woke up in the parking lot at the local mall I’ve got my windows rolled down, but it’s still too hot And I can’t think at all I remember what I did last night Or maybe it was a dream Everything’s so much more believable When I see it on Tee Vee I want to fall in love I want to rock and roll And I can do it all All I need is my remote control I’ll skip the sad story about how I went too far I’m driving on the interstate feeling kind of sick But I just can’t stop my car I know what it was that I said last night But I don’t know how I should feel And if it hasn’t premiered on my big screen I can’t be sure it was real I need to be the boss I want to meet all my goals And I can have it all All I need is my remote control I want to be a star But I don’t want to sell my soul And I can have it all All I need is my remote control

When you woke up this morning Did you open your eyes? Could you feel your heart beating Did you take a minute, just a minute To realize Hey yeah yeah This is your life Come on, you've got to start to think about it sometime Hey yeah yeah This is your life Come on, get up and get off the dime Do you look out the window? Dream of some other place? Only you have the power To take control of your time And your space (That's why I say) Hey yeah yeah This is your life You've got to take it in your own hands (that's right) Hey yeah yeah This is your life Never give up on your plans Do what you love Love what you do It's working for me And I guarantee It'll work for you

Oh well, what the hell Another worthless night Guess I’ll go out to the still, sit there and drink until I don’t want to fight no more Hey what can I say I fill it up again I guess I could stay sober, but ‘til this all blows over I just won’t know when to say when I’m gonna fill up the bucket I’m gonna burn me a bone I’m gonna whittle me a hound dog And sit here and drink all alone Well so, there you go The story’s sad but true You might learn a lesson, it could be refreshing If it ever happens to you Just keep on prayin’ that there ain’t no hole in the bucket
