Another Day Lyrics

(by Bruce R. Hornsby)

 

 Woke up this morning looking at the screen

 There's a couple of men talking

 I'm not sure what they mean

 There's a conversation many men running wild

 We learn about the world while they're fighting in the aisles

 

 Here we go

 What do you say, what do you know

 You've got your life and you watch it away

 Well, it's just another day in this old town

 So get down

 

 Home Shopping Channel's got us by the eyes

 Scrambling to the phone, ordering porcelain flies

 Talk to the women, talk to the wives

 Everybody's buying important things for their lives

 

 Here we go

 What do you say, what do you know

 You've got your life and you watch it away

 Well, it's just another day in this old town

 So get down

 

 He's a high performance engine with Jesus as the fuel

 Old father's handing out forty acres and a mule

 Preaching the word of prosperity

 Make a little money, they might just put you on t.v.

  

 Here we go

 What do you say, what do you know

 You've got your life and you watch it away

 Ain't no big thing it's just another day

 Ain't no big thing so let it ring

 Let it ring, George

 

 Turn off the lights, honey, then turn off the set

 Life around here don't make a lot of damned sense

 As I closed my eyes, I saw in my mind

 Somebody selling me a nickel for a dime

 

 Here we go

 What do you say, what do you know

 You've got your life and you watch it away

 Well, it's just another day in this old town

 So get down, ain't no big thing so let it ring

 In this old town so get down

 It's another day so go ahead

 Go ahead

 Everybody go
