Bethany Joy Lenz - Day After Today lyrics

Said I want to live the city life This small town could eat me alive I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me Mama's too poor to send me away But I've been saving up on most everyday Little bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli And the whistle keeps on blowing And the train keeps on rolling And he said I ain't never been to New York City I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas But you bet your bottom dollar That's where I'm going the day after today So he locked the door and he k**ed the lights Took a six pack to get him through the night Didn't have a plan just a good sense of direction And Maybelline, his beauty queen She cried all night cause the sheet were clean But he left her a lovers' note there apologizing He said I hear the whistle blowing Gotta catch it the train is rolling And he said I ain't never been to New York City I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas But you bet your bottom dollar That's where I'm going the day after today The air is thick on the concrete isle Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles And he ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding So he took his foot from out his mouth And he packed his things and went back down south But Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising." Said I hear the whistle blowing Gotta catch it the train is rolling And she said I ain't never been to New York City I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas I never seen the L.A lights shine bright Bright, brighter than your smile was ever Brighter than my desire was ever Longer burning than our love was ever.... And she said I ain't never been to New York City I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas But you bet your bottom dollar That's where I'm going the day after today
