Day After Today Lyrics

Said I want to live the city life

This small town could eat me alive

I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me

Mama's too poor to send me away

But I've been saving up on most everyday

Little bit of each check from the Gas & Deli

And the whistle keeps on blowing

And the train keeps on rolling

And he said

I ain't never been to New York City

I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay

I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas

But you bet your bottom dollar

That's where I'm going the day after today

So he locked the door and he killed the lights

Took a six pack to get him through the night

Didn't have a plan just a good sense of direction

And Maybelline, his beauty queen

She cried all night cause the sheets were clean

But he left her a lovers' note there apologizing

He said I hear the whistle blowing

Gotta catch it the train is rolling

And he said

I ain't never been to New York City

I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay

I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas

But you bet your bottom dollar

That's where I'm going the day after today

The air is thick on the concrete isle

Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles

And he ain't used to the sun and moon a hiding

So he took his foot from out his mouth

And he packed his things and went back down south

But Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising."

Said I hear the whistle blowing

Gotta catch it the train is rolling

And she said

I ain't never been to New York City

I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay

I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas

I never seen the L.A. lights shine bright

Bright, brighter than your smile was ever

Brighter than my desire was ever

Longer burning than our love was ever...

And she said

I ain't never been to New York City

I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay

I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas

But you bet your bottom dollar

That's where I'm going the day after today
