DON'T GIMME NO BAD NEWS song lyrics 2nd version
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
- and that was all she wrote

don't gimme no bad news
don't gimme no bad news
I've had enough of youse
don't gimme no bad news
one more kick in the head
and I'm over the edge
don't gimme no bad news
don't gimme no bad news
I thought that I was tough
but I've had much too much
- don't gimme no bad news

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 gotta come to work
but how could I refuse
I put back on my blues
- and tied my walking shoes


the riot in the streets
was feeding on blue meat
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 walked home in the rain

don't gimme no bad news
don't gimme no bad news
you do and I refuse
good news is what I choose
I done more than my best
it's time to take a rest
don't gimme no bad news
don't gimme no bad news
I had enough of sorrow
- we'll start all over tomorrow
