Bethany Joy Lenz - Day After Today Lyrics
Said I want to live the city lifeThis small town could eat me aliveI gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes meMama's too poor to send me awayBut I've been saving up on most everydayLittle bit of each check from the Gas & DeliAnd the whistle keeps on blowingAnd the train keeps on rollingAnd he saidI ain't never been to New York CityI ain't seen the San Francisco BayI ain't never tried my hand in VegasBut you bet your bottom dollarThat's where I'm going the day after todaySo he locked the door and he killed the lightsTook a six pack to get him through the nightDidn't have a plan just a good sense of directionAnd Maybelline, his beauty queenShe cried all night cause the sheets were cleanBut he left her a lovers' note there apologizingHe said I hear the whistle blowingGotta catch it the train is rollingAnd he saidI ain't never been to New York CityI ain't seen the San Francisco BayI ain't never tried my hand in VegasBut you bet your bottom dollarThat's where I'm going the day after todayThe air is thick on the concrete isleAin't nothing green for like twenty milesAnd he ain't used to the sun and moon a hidingSo he took his foot from out his mouthAnd he packed his things and went back down southBut Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising."Said I hear the whistle blowingGotta catch it the train is rollingAnd she saidI ain't never been to New York CityI ain't seen the San Francisco BayI ain't never tried my hand in VegasI never seen the L.A. lights shine brightBright, brighter than your smile was everBrighter than my desire was everLonger burning than our love was ever...And she saidI ain't never been to New York CityI ain't seen the San Francisco BayI ain't never tried my hand in VegasBut you bet your bottom dollarThat's where I'm going the day after today
