NO PLACE TO BE TODAY

THE MAN AT THE FACTORY SAID THINGS ARE SLOW.

I’D LIKE TO KEEP YOU ON BUT YOU’LL HAVE TO GO.

I KNOW THESE TIMES ARE TOUGH.  I’M HURTIN’ JUST AS MUCH.

WHEN THINGS PICK UP WE’LL GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU.

MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY SEEM SO LONG.

THURSDAY’S DONE AND FRIDAY’S ALMOST GONE.

A YOUNG RETIREE, THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT FROM ME.

SITTIN’ IN MY ROCKIN’ CHAIR AT HOME.

NO PLACE TO BE TODAY.

NOTHIN’ YOU’VE GOT TO DO OR SAY.

NO ONE TO TELEPHONE.

MAYBE JUST SIT AT HOME, ALONE.

TURN ON THE T.V. SET.

AIN’T GOOD, BUT WHAT THE HECK.

LIVE TODAY LIKE YESTERDAY, LIKE YESTERDAY.

FRIENDS DOWN AT THE BAR DON’T COME AROUND.

MONEY’S GETTIN’ SCARCE IN THIS WHOLE TOWN.

THE LANDLORD’S AT MY DOOR, THE BANKER HE WANTS MORE.

AND THE PRICE OF GASOLINE IS ON THE RISE.

I MIGHT NOT LIVE THE LIFE OF A MOVIE STAR.

OR DO THE TOWN WITH YOU EATIN’ CAVIAR.

BEFORE MY LIFE IS DONE, WILL I SEE PEACE FOR EVERYONE?

WE JUST CAN’T LIVE ANOTHER DAY THIS WAY.
