I can almost taste the lipstick from the wine
Of the gypsy I was with the night we met Saint John the Prine
She’s still married to some other guy
Sometimes I even wonder if there’s one good reason why
If tomorrow wasn’t just like yesterday
Would things be any different or pretty much the same?
Like daisies were all born to bloom and fade away
And it’s hard to find the sunshine where you can feel some rain
I wish I could remember what all he said
About the Iron Man in Birmingham who lived up on the hill
When he said the part he thought old Moretti missed
It was something about a pair of cowboy boots, another hot dog or a pogo stick
If tomorrow wasn’t just like yesterday
Would things be any different or pretty much the same?
Like daisies were all born to bloom and fade away
And it’s hard to find the sunshine where you can feel the rain
Sol sipped bourbon in my overalls last night
I was all alone out on the patio beneath the big pink full moon’s light And I’II admit a tear came into my eye
As I was sitting there in my folding chair humming Paradise
