Just One day

It was late at night

We was feeling alright

It was miles away from the montreal nights

Somebody said something

'Bout a really good song that he heard.

In the parking lot

With the radio playing

I do recall that somebody was saying

This girl he'd met was causin' him a whole lot of hurt

I'm not sure, but I think he said

That the time she borrowed was time he'd lend

I don't know. I think her name was heloise or laura

She would always make a point to drive a boy nuts when she could

So I tried, yes I tried oh lord I tried to understand

Why the road less travelled is sometimes the best way to go

Well you punch the clock from day to day

I know life need not be that way

I want a way out, if only for just one day

We're loading up the loading ramp

The sound-check's good, we've set up camp

We're ready

Ac couple of rudies were pounding back forties

And a couple of chelsea girls sat on the edge of the stage

The music was roaring and lord the guinness was flowing

We left our troubles behind, for just one day!
