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."
Psalm 30:5

A song for the road you're on.

One of Them Days

[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
