Song
One of Them Days
BurdenWearinessHope
A plainspoken country prayer for the days when every light turns red and anger starts looking for somewhere to land. The bridge turns the whole song: God does not have to change the list of what is wrong to meet us in the car, slow our breathing, and keep the storm outside our hearts.
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."
A song for the road you're on.

One of Them Days Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] Alarm didn't ring and the coffee pot's dead Phone's blowing up 'fore I'm out of the bed Spilled half my coffee down the front of my shirt Ten miles of brake lights just salting the hurt [Chorus] It's just one of them days when it all goes wrong Every light turns red and the day drags long It's just one of them days and I'm 'bout to blow Fist full of thunder and nowhere to throw [Verse 2] Spent my whole lunch hour stuck on hold Pressed one for English and the line went cold Finally washed the truck 'cause the forecast looked good Then the sky dumped rain like it knew that it would [Chorus] It's just one of them days when it all goes wrong Every light turns red and the day drags long It's just one of them days and I'm 'bout to blow Fist full of thunder and nowhere to throw [Verse 3] Rolled in the driveway at a quarter to nine Even the porch light wouldn't give me a shine Killed the engine, just sat in the dark One more mile and I'd have come apart [Bridge] So I sat in the car with my head bowed low Said Lord take this anger 'fore I let it go He didn't change one thing on my list of what's wrong But He sat there with me till the anger was gone [Final Chorus] It's still one of them days but I'm breathing slow Traded all that thunder for a peace I know Still one of them days but the day don't win 'Cause the storm's outside and it ain't gettin' in [Final Chorus] It's still one of them days but I'm breathing slow Traded all that thunder for a peace I know Still one of them days but the day don't win 'Cause the storm's outside and it ain't gettin' in [Outro] One of them days... but it ain't got me
