it's a great day
have you ever had one of those days
when nothin' goes right
your wife starts bitchin' 'bout whatever it was
she was bitchin' about last night
so you escape into the bathroom
just to sit there on your throne
but after you finish your business
the toilet paper's gone
chorus:
it's a great day
for me to whup somebody's ass
it's a bad day
so you better get off my back
you might get coldcocked
if you cross my path
'cause it's a great day
for me to whup somebody's ass
well I was runnin' late for work
so I poured me some coffee to go
and just before I had a flat tire
I spilled it all over my clothes
when the highway patrolman pulled up
I thought that help was on the way
but when he saw that tire tool in my hand
he shot me with pepper spray
chorus
when I finally made it to work
I was fifteen minutes late
I told my boss about the flat tire
but he fired me anyway
so here I am in the parkin' lot
just waitin' by his corvette
I'm gonna give him a goodbye present
that he never will forget
chorus
where was I
on a black and white tv back in grammar school
I was watchin' neil armstrong walkin' on the moon
that same day I pretended I was an astronaut
on the playground monkey bars I flew above the stars
I was in a dallas disco the night john lennon died
the dj played "imagine" and everybody cried
I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands
all we were saying was, "let's give peace a chance"
chorus:
where was I when you stopped loving me?
when did I become history?
there's not many things that escape my memory
tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
every twenty thousand years that comet lights up the night
on a blanket we watched it sail across the sky
a moment like that comes just once in life
it felt like our first time at 11:35
chorus
bridge:
I remember when I met you
the taste of our first kiss
I remember your goodbye
but could you tell me this
chorus
