Not Today

When it’s over, it’s over - I head into town
No use in the cryin’ - Gettin’ used to it now
Guess I’ll rip off the band-aid - It won’t be long
‘Til I’m back in the saddle - Get to needin’ someone

And then it’s pool halls, and holes in the walls - every place between
You got your lodges and legions - can I sign in for free
And I swallow my drink - every ounce of my pride
When the memories are faded - you can take me for a ride

I’ll be out in the car makin’ love in the backseat
I won’t fall in love, no I’m free as a bird
Killin’ the time, tryin’ not to feel worse
Not today, not today, not today

There’s a girl in the corner - she dressed to the nines
Flashed me a smile - I responded in kind
She said her good man, he gone bad - she don’t much mind
Yea a simple distraction - ain’t too hard to find

She likes Manhattans, old fashioneds - a glass of Chardonnay
Slipped me a kiss - when I had nothin’ to say
How’d she end up out here - across the divide?
She said it’s gettin’ kinda late - we better go for a ride

We’ll be out in the car makin’ love in the backseat
We won’t fall in love, no we’re free as the birds
Killin’ the time, tryin’ not to feel worse
Not today, not today, not today

Now we’re out in the car makin’ love in the backseat
We won’t fall in love, no we’re free as the birds
Killin’ the time, tryin’ not to feel worse
Not today, not today, not today
