One Of Them Damn Days Lyrics - Mystic Pinball - John Hiatt

It was Monday or Tuesday 

Or one of them damn days 

I was staring backwards from the sun 

Through an unrelenting haze 

I was shaking, reaching for my cup 

Trying to stir my life around 

'Cause I thought I saw my baby 

On the other side of town 

They were just ten and eleven 

And almost seventeen 

She was barely thirty-five herself 

When I turned drunk and mean 

Someone said they seen 'em back 

Why would they come around 

But I thought I saw my baby 

On the other side of town

Now the drunkard, he will go to lengths 

To justify his state 

But the truth is even one's too much 

When a hundred will not sate 

Like a wrecking ball slung through the lives 

Of all to whom he's bound 

Well, I thought I saw my baby 

On the other side of town 

Well, I thought if I could make amends 

And somehow get in touch 

But then I had to take a drink 

And it was all too much 

I drank the whole rest of the day 

I drank that bottle down 

'Cause I thought I saw my baby 

On the other side of town

It was Monday or Tuesday 

Or one of them damn days 

They keep comin' ever after 

Nothing changes, nothing stays 

Just a flickering in black and white 

An image with no sound 

And I think I see my baby 

On the other side of town
