lyrics

humming bird at the window
and coffee for me
I’ll be working ‘til dark I suppose
first I’ll have to fix that old mowin’ machine
what’s wrong with that scannel
don’t nobody know
and the traffic on the road
seems a little louder this year
running there close to the house
sometimes the sameness just get’s in my way
I don’t know what happened
I’m alright for today

well money is still printed on paper
there ain’t no tellin’ how long that’ll last
but a piece or two in my back pocket
is still better than a kick in the pants
and the price just went up again on snickers
and I can’t say as how that really suits me
dumb ol’ reality just gets in my way
but somehow it seems
I’m alright for today

well I ain’t sayin’ that it’s all a big bummer
‘cause my grandkids draw pictures of me
email is certainly more convenient
although mundane for an epiphany
got enough 501’s in the closet
to last ‘till I’m about 72… or three
but sometimes the sameness
just gets in my way
I don’t know what happened
I’m alright for today

sometimes I find it advantageous to say
that I don’t care what happens
I’ll be alright for today
