Ain't Gonna Happen Today
THE SUN'S COMIN' UP ON MY ACHIN' HEAD
THERE'S A HALF EMPTY BOTTLE OF JACK BY MY BED
I GOT A LIST OF THINGS TO DO BOUT TEN MILE LONG
AND GETTIN' OVER YOU OUGHTA BE ON IT
BUT IT AIN'T
I'M A THINKIN' THAT CAN WAIT
TOMORROW I'LL GET TO IT ... BUT HEY
DAMN SURE SAFE TO SAY
IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN TODAY
YOU SAID YOU'D COME BACK WHEN HELL FROZE OVER
IT'S NINETY RIGHT NOW BUT IT'S GETTIN' COLDER
I OUGHTA PUT THE WHISKEY AND CIGARETTES DOWN
AND MAKE MYSELF FACE THE TRUTH RIGHT NOW
BUT I AIN'T
I'M A THINKIN' THAT CAN WAIT
TOMORROW I'LL GET TO IT ... BUT HEY
DAMN SURE SAFE TO SAY
IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN TODAY
YOU'D COME WALKIN' THROUGH THAT DOOR
AND LOVE ME LIKE YOU DID BEFORE
IN A PERFECT WORLD
BUT IT AIN'T
LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
THAT OL' CLOCK SAYS IT'S GETTIN' LATE
DAMN SURE SAFE TO SAY
IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN TODAY
