Johnathan East It's Gonna' Be A Good Day
Old man makes his living makin' music on the street
Pickin' on that guitar, strumming to that beat
Most folks keep on walkin', never stop to hear him sing
But every now and then, some kid walks up and says, how you play that thing
It's gonna' be a good day. It's gonna' be a good, good day.
Waitress at the diner, got an apron on her hip
Don't get a lot of money, but she gets a lot of lip
But this morning serving coffee, some guy says, I feel your pain
Left $100 on the counter and says, you keep the change.
(Chorus)
It's gonna' be a good day, baby I can see
There's gonna' be sunshine, shining down on me
It's gonna' be alright, gonna' chase the clouds away
It's gonna' be a good day.
Ain't nothing quite as lonely, as a tiger in the zoo
Sittin' there day after day, while people look at you
But today, that stupid trainer got a little bit too close
And all hell's about to break loose, ‘cause that “dagum†tiger knows
It's gonna' be a good day. It's gonna' be a good, good day.
Stray dog on the sidewalk beggin' for some crumbs
All his ribs are showin', looks like his days are done.
Then some big shot lawyer drives up in a new Mercedes Benz
Stops and opens up the door and just takes ‘em home with him.
(Repeat Chorus)
I walked into that corner bar, feelin' kinda' rough
Climbed up on a barstool as the band was firin' up
Got myself some hot wings and ordered up a drink
Then some chick walked up about half drunk and I couldn't help but think.
(Repeat Chorus)
