BAD NEWS TODAY blues song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

got home from the road
head bout to explode
wired from the load
paid the dues I owed
walked into the house
quiet as a mouse
began to have my doubts
what's this all about?
she left me a note
said I'm gone unquote
took your overcoat
and that was all she wrote

don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
one more kick in the head
and I'll go over the edge
don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
I thought that I was tough
but I've had more than enough
don't gimme bad news today

woke up feeling drowned
to hear the TV sound
looked at the screen and found
they burned down half the town
the boss called and said jerk
although they gone berserk
this is no time to shirk
you still gotta come to work
but how could I refuse
I put back on my blues
and tied my walking shoes
so don't gimme the bad news

the riot in the streets
was feeding on blue meat
and the sound of running feet
us police took the heat
I couldn't use my gun
it wasn't any fun
look out for number one
and when the war was done
they made me take the blame
but I was not ashamed
I bore up under pain
and walked home in the rain

so don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
I done more than my best
it's time to take a rest
don't gimme bad news today
don't gimme bad news today now
I had enough of sorrow
we'll try again tomorrow
don't gimme no more bad news today
