I have literally HAD this freakin' day...

Rained all day, I got very wet,

50 deliveries; a record I bet,

All I want to do is sleep,

Damn but I need a vacation,

One long enough to drive across our nation…

 

The old Pontiac tank,

She could make that trip, I think,

New struts, new tires, new brakes,

What a wonderful ride I could take…

 

But for today I have got to wait,

I got home from work so awfully late,

Seven hours is a long day for me,

In and out of the car, my back does hurt,

Everything today I wore, from shoes up to shirt,

Are soaking wet, as well they picked up a lot of dirt…J

"Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight
Just let it groove it's own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day."

I hear you, Ed. If you have some Vitamin C take a double dose. You being out in all that rain might give you a cold or something. When you take that trip, don't forget to drop by south Louisiana.
