Lyrics

Someday…It’s gonna be a good day
But today just ain’t that day
Someday…It’s gonna be a good day
But today just ain’t that day

I’m working like a dog trying to get ahead
My bank account’s gone empty…I’m deep in red
I grew up poor…never had much
Every day was a struggle…every day bad luck

My love life sucks and I’m stuck in a rut
When I tried out for the team I didn’t make the cut
The truck needs work…my boots are worn
Feels like it’s been this way since the day I was born

Someday…It’s gonna be a good day
But today just ain’t that day

My dog’s run away…my cable shut off
I smoke too much and have a nagging cough
Momma is gone…daddy’s in jail
I couldn’t buy a headstone or post the bail

The roof is leaking and the house needs paint
I’m doing all that I can to save it from the bank
Sometimes I feel as though I’d be better off dead
What can I do to get these thoughts out of my head?

The factory closed…unemployment’s high
Each politician’s promise was a bold-faced lie
I hate my job and the money’s no good
I can’t break away from this neighborhood

I tried to enlist but they turned me down
I broke the photo of me in my cap and gown
My friends did college then moved away
And all that I have is this shitty day…
Someday…It’s gonna be a good day
But today just ain’t that day

Someday…It’s gonna be a good day
But today just ain’t that….
No, today just ain’t that….
But today just ain’t that day

Someday…
(Today just ain't that day…)
It’s gonna be a good day
(Today just ain't that day…)

Someday…
(Today just ain't that day…)
It’s gonna be a good day
(Today just ain't that day…)

Someday…
(Today just ain't that day…)
It’s gonna be a good day
(Today just ain't that day…)

Someday…
(Today just ain't that day…)
It’s gonna be a good day
(Today just ain't that day…)
