Another Day In The Life

(album: Mercy - 2021)

Well I looked in the sky today
Didn't see a single plane
All my life there's been streaks through the sky
Yeah I looked in the sky today

Well I called papaw today
He never has much to say
He knows saying a little less makes your words mean more
Yeah I called papaw today

Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singing songs
Passing time 'till I die
Enjoying simple things
Staying half way sane
Just another day in the life

I went back in the holler today
Yeah ole Phil gave us early Spring
I let the birds sing cause they're better than me
I went back in the holler today

Well I wet a line today
Didn't catch a damn thing
But you know a bad day of fishing beats the hell out of working
Yeah I wet a line today

Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singing songs
Passing time 'till I die
Enjoying simple things
Staying half way sane
Just another day in the life

We ate as a family
It's been a long time since we
Sat down at the table and bowed our heads
Yeah we ate as a family

Well I'll fly with the birds one day
Yeah one day I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
Glory I'll fly away

Well the lines we draw
Ain't the way it always goes
Straight to hell
Seems as soon as I get a foothold
I tumble back down the hill
We ain't here for long
Just singing songs
Passing time 'till we die
Enjoying simple things
Staying half way sane
Just another day in the life
