Day After Day

Grew up drinkin’ whiskey from the bottle
Workin’ at her daddy’s antique store
Knew she’d never leave the town where she was born
Knew she shouldn’t ask for any more
Her mama died when she was only 13
She raised her brothers up quite on her own
Til one moved away and the other’s back in jail
Now it’s her and daddy all alone
Chorus:
And they’ve been waiting for what’s comin’ next
Just prayin’ things don’t always stay this way
And they’ve been askin’ Jack and Jose
Oh it’s the same answer day after day
Feels like lonely runs in her blood
Don’t need nobody else
She can grow old in this dusty town
Passing time by the old church bells
Some days she closes her eyes
And thinks of far away
Some days she wakes up feeling hopeful
But that feelin, it don’t stay
CHORUS
Twenty years and lookin’ down the road
A man came in and bought up most the town
Folks moved along sold their land for something new
But she and daddy keep on keepin’ on
CHORUS
