long, long day - music & lyrics by ron leary

 

out of bed on the wrong side

telephone rings, oh things ain't good

cloudy skies greetin' me on the way

goin' home got to be strong

 

over tea yesterday you told me

"it is time that we go our own separate ways"

didn't see it, don't believe it

oh you've got this stomach all tied up in knots

 

brown baggin' it down the highway dodgin' potholes in the way

cherry red lights flashing in the rearview mirror

"yes officer I've been drinking, no I ain't been thinking,

it's just been a long, long day"

 

the coming weeks upon me

run and hide, close the eyes

take it in, overwhelming

make some sense out of all that's been happening

 

brown baggin' it down the highway dodgin' potholes in the way

cherry red lights flashing in the rearview mirror

oh yes I've been drinking, no I ain't been thinking,

it's just been a long, long day
