The Day Don't Wear A Smile
---
Looking up that hill
And the sun won't shine
Guess it never will
Not in my lifetime
she's gone now, she's gone now
the day don't wear a smile, and I guess it never will
Waiting on that silly bus
Watching women smoke a joint
There's a crosswalk, in the street
But I really don't see the point
cause she's gone now, she's gone now
the day don't wear a smile, and it probably never will
Guess the winds they do change
Then things calm down
Things get quiet, and drive you insane
From the empty sound
cause she's gone now, she's gone now
the day don't make a sound, and I know it never will

That's Alright
--
Girls they come, then they go
Boys start young, and they get old
You're off the path, you're down the hill
Have another glass, take another pill
and you're day is getting old
and you're body's growing cold
The sun beats down, the grass it grows
You're hair falls out, and that's how it goes
You're down at the diner, Jimmy's got a plan
Done figured out, how to stick it to the man
and everything seems old
you're best friends ain't nothing but souls
and that's alright
and your days are moving fast
tomorrow's day, might be your last
so you decided to make a change
forget the past, forget the pain
The kid's these days, well they got a clue
They gonna chase that dollar, what the hell else would they do?
And they'll get old, and they'll figure it out
Wishing for more days, as the whole thing plays out
they'll watch their own kids get old
praying they ain't buying what they sold
and that's alright
uh you decided to make a change
forget the past, forget the pain
a rainy day and you're gonna smile
you ain't felt this way, in quite awhile
You're all alone, it's the holiday
Gonna call your ex, you got so much you wanna say
You're living for others, like you always should've been
You done figured it out, we're in the same boat
From beginning to the end
and you tell her you were wrong
ain't a grudge in your heart, how about a new start?
and now the day it brings a smile
you ain't felt this way, in quite awhile
and now the day it brings a smile
you ain't felt this day, in quite awhile
And that's alright, and that's alright
And that's alright, it's gonna be alright
And that's alright, and that's alright
It's gonna be alright, and that's alright
