The voice of opportunity was callin' out my name
So me and Daddy's
suitcase boarded that old train
Headed for a new life in a pplace I'd never
been
Wond'rin when I'd see this town again
We pulled into the station
in a town called New Orleans
It wasn't long 'tll hard time nearly got the
best of me
It would've been so easy to give up and go back home
but somethin'always kept me hangin on
chorus
Mama said there'd be days
like this
Son that's just the way it is
Sometimes things don't work
for the best
You cant stop a storm from rollin' in
Take shelter it'll pass and
then
The sun is gonna mama said
There'd be days like this
I met her in a French cafe just out side of town
I gave her my heart and pretty
soon we settled down
But she grew cold and restless and took off like
the wind
Sometimes you lose sometimes you just cant win
chorus
Mama said there'd be days
like this
Son that's just the way it is
Sometimes things don't work
for the best
You cant stop a storm from rollin' in
Take shelter it'll pass and
then
The sun is gonna mama said
There'd be days like this
You
cant stop a storm from rollin'in
Take shelter it'll pass and then
The sun is gonna shine and mama said
There'd be days like this
