Tomorrow's Looking Pretty Good

Yesterday, I woke to find the world was kind and that the sun had shone

Through my window on the bed where I had slept alone

And all my friends, had moved off years ago, but I just stayed right here in town

So when the phone rang I hoped that she'd finally come around

But one old friend was moving home, he said that he was on his way

Well I couldn't think of working, so I called in for the day

I haven't cut back drinking even though I know I should

Yesterday was rough, but tomorrow's looking pretty good

Well we just sat there on my front porch and we drank the day away

And laughed at how we thought our lives would turn out in our younger days

He said he hoped I was doing fine since dad had passed away

He heard about her leaving, knew that I'd seen better days

But I said no

A man can really find himself when he just lives alone

And dad told me he loved me last time we talked on the phone

My friend said that he'd better go, he had a lot of things to do

But that's when I decided I'd skip work the next day too

Maybe clear my head and take a long walk in the woods

Yesterday was rough, but tomorrow's looking pretty good

There's been days

When I just sit around and flip the channels on TV

But it felt so good just standing there surrounded by the trees

I wondered what it was that I had lost along the way

I live however much I bleed, so I guess I'll be okay

And then the world showed me some kindness as I went back to my room

As the sun went down in darkness, I caught a hint of her perfume

And I got fired but that was fine cause I'd had all I could take

And when she called turns out we both stayed faithful on the break

She's not ready to come back home, but now she thinks she could

Yesterday was rough but tomorrow's looking pretty good
