Woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
I can tell things aren’t goin’ my way
Barely got two dollars to my name
But I'm tryin’ to keep my head up just the same
The sun can’t shine on the same dog every day
So I bide my time till the clouds all roll away
Well this land aint mine, no good reason for to stay
Why we do this I can only speculate
Walking ‘long the line of poverty
Tryin’ to feed my wife and family
Singin songs ain’t doin that for me
But here I’m still just doing it for free
Tryin’ to raise our daughter to believe
There’s no limit to what she can achieve
Even if her dream in life’s to be
Some bullshit singer songwriter like me
Well the sun can’t shine on the same dog every day
So i bide my time till the clouds all roll away
Well this land ain’t mine no good reason for to stay
I can’t help but think that there’s a better way
So even when I’m feelin' kinda blue
Or when I’ve bit off more than I can chew
I know that I can always just make do
Singin' songs to nobody but you
Well the sun can’t shine on the same dog every day
So i bide my time till the clouds all roll away
Well this land ain’t mine no good reason for to stay
I lost my last dime in the collection plate
