Regrets Lyrics - Singles - Black Train Jack

Up in the morning got to get outside 

A few hours early to get some overtime 

The sun splashes on the wall right after dawn 

Charge his battery got to last all night 

Coffee and a cigarette starts his day off right 

In Central Park a dog runs across the lawn 

Regrets 

Work every day just trying to stay ahead 

Slaving like an animal he wishes he was dead 

Uptown downtown through the underground 

New York subways make a certain sound 

Everybody's got somewhere to go 

He thinks to himself as he looks to check the time 

The latent images in other peoples minds 

Autumn mornings have thoughts all their own 

This cannot be what life is for 

He's fighting a war 

Just to remain alive 

On the way home he stops 

At the local video store 

Because he rented Annie Hall 

On the night before 

He's got a burritto in his bag 

He's staying in tonight 

Because what's the use in going out 

On a Tuesday night 

This cannot be what life is for 

He's fighting a war 

Just to remain alive 

Happiness should not be a dream 

Or only a scheme 

Who's foundation is based on lies 

Next day got to do it again there is no end 

Until the day he dies 

Find something that you will enjoy 

And do it now boy 

Because this is our only life
