Another Day of Sun

I think about that day

I left him at a greyhound station

West of Santa Fé

We were seventeen

But he was sweet and it was true

Still I did what I had to do

'Cause I just knew

Summer: Sunday nights

We'd sink into our seats

Right as they dimmed out all the lights

A technicolor world made out of music and machine

It called me to be on that screen

And live inside each scene

Without a nickel to my name

Hopped a bus, here I came

Could be brave or just insane

We'll have to see

'Cause maybe in that sleepy town

He'll sit one day, the lights are down

He'll see my face and think of how

He used to know me

Behind these hills

I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine

And when they let you down

You'll get up off the ground

As morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

I hear them every day

The rhythms in the canyons

That'll never fade away

The ballads in the barrooms

Left by those who came before

They say "you gotta want it more"

So I bang on every door

And even when the answer's "no"

Or when my money's running low

The dusty mic and neon glow

Are all I need

And someday as I sing my song

A small-town kid'll come along

That'll be the thing to push him on and go go

Behind these hills

I'm reaching for the heights

And chasing all the lights that shine

And when they let you down

You'll get up off the ground

As morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

And when they let you down

The morning rolls around

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun

Just another day of sun

It's another day of sun

Another day has just begun

It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun
