Day After Today lyrics

Said I want to live the city life 
This small town could eat me alive 
I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me 

Mama's too poor to send me away 
But I've been saving up almost everyday 
Little bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli 

And the whistle keeps on blowing 
And the train keeps on rolling 

And he said I ain't never been to New York City 
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm going the day after today 

So he locked the door and he killed the lights 
Took a six pack to get him through the night 
Didn't have a plan just a good sense of direction 

And Maybelline 
His beauty queen 
She cried all night cause the sheet were clean 
But he left her a lovers' note there apologizing 

He said I hear the whistle blowing 
Gotta catch it 
The train is rolling 

And he said I ain't never been to New York City 
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm going the day after today 

The air is thick on the concrete isle 
Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles 
And he ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding 

So he took his foot from out his mouth 
And he packed his things and went back down south 
But Maybelline said, "Babe my time's arising" 

Said I hear the whistle blowing 
Gotta catch it 
The train is rolling 

And she said I ain't never been to New York City 
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
I never seen the L.A lights shine bright 
Bright 
Brighter than your smile was ever 
Brighter than my desire was ever 
Longer burning than our love was ever 

And she said I ain't never been to New York City 
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay 
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas 
But you bet your bottom dollar that's where I'm going the day after today 

Mmm 
Ooh 
Ooh 
The day after today
