Got out of bed about 3 PM thought it was a holiday
|
Then my boss called just to tell me
|
I'm late and he's giving my job away
|
Well I took me a walk to the liquor store
|
so I could drink away my blues
|
Spent my last ten bucks, then I dropped the bottle
|
and I broke it all over my shoes
|
So I got home to find the power's shut off,
|
there was someone knocking at my door
|
It was my landlord serving an eviction notice
|
'cause my checks are bouncing off the floor
|
I pounded my head up against the wall
|
thinking what else could go wrong
|
But this was only the beginning to a real bad day,
|
it wasn't gonna be a lot of fun
|
|
I knew I should have never gotten out of bed
|
'Cause of the rain cloud above my head
|
I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see
|
So tell me why does this happen to me?
|
|
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me
|
When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me
|
When it rains it pours, raining down on only me
|
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
|
|
I drove across town to go see a friend
|
when I heard a siren on my tail
|
It turned out I had a warrant for my arrest
|
and I couldn't even post the bail
|
So I'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours
|
keepin' company with thieves and drunks
|
I'm free to go but my car's impounded
|
and I'm thinkin' 'bout becoming a monk
|
So I'm wandering aorund in a catatonic daze
|
now barely a shell of a man
|
I look like I live out of a shopping cart
|
and I'm picking up aluminum cans
|
I staggered my way to an overpass
|
and fell to the dirt asleep
|
I figured out tomorrow is a new day
|
and maybe I could buy myself a life real cheap
|
