Beautiful Day (I Reckon)

(album: Suburban Drawl - 2023)

Honey, I ain't in the mood for Sund'y driving
Y'all go on and don't worry 'bout me
They'll be lovely autumn colors in the mountains
I'm afraid I'd only spoil the scenery

Oh my outlook ain't so bright
And that sunny sky is no match for how I feel
It's a beautiful day, I reckon
It'd be a shame to waste it, but I think I will
I think I will
I reckon

I ain't even in the mood for going fishing
Rowing 'cross that water seems like stress
With my luck they won't even be a biting
Just another exercise in hopelessness

It's a beautiful day, I reckon
But it's not match for how I feel
It's a beautiful day, I reckon
Would be a shame to waste it, but I think I will
I think I will
I think I will
I reckon

It's like I blinked my eyes and turned into my daddy
Drinking Michelob and sitting here alone
Don't know if I'm sad or just plum tired
Or worried that the kids are almost grown

It's a beautiful day, I reckon
But it's no match for how I feel
It's a beautiful day, I reckon
It'd be a shame to waste it, but I think I will
I think I will
I think I will
I reckon

Honey, I ain't in the mood for Sund'y driving
