Ain't Gonna Be Your Day    (1986)

Well I woke up this morning, stumbled 'cross the floor
Feeling for the light switch, I stubbed my toe on the door
An earthquake came along, my house started to sway
A little voice whispered in my ear, "it ain't gonna be your day"

It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
As my house burned down, I heard a little sound
It ain't gonna be your day

When I shaved this morning, I nearly cut my throat
The zipper stuck on my pant, a button fell off my coat
Down in my kitchen, I set my house ablaze
A little voice whispered in my ear, "it ain't gonna be your day"

It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
As my house burned down, I heard a little sound
It ain't gonna be your day

Now out on the freeway a big truck tried to pass
Halfway around with traffic comin' I ran out of gas
That big ol' truck hit me, knocked me ever which way
A little voice whispered in my ear it ain't gonna be your day

No it ain't gonna be your day boy it ain't gonna be your day
As they hauled it away I heard them say it ain't gonna be your day
Well I called up my boss man, said I'd be late for work
He screamed "what's the matter, are you sick or hurt?"

Well I said I had some trouble, he said you'll get no pay
A little voice whispered in my ear it ain't gonna be your day
No it ain't gonna be your day boy it ain't gonna be your day
As he slammed that phone I heard a little moan, it ain't gonna be your day

Well the day started rocky, it went from bad to worse
Like the words to this song, gets worse with every verse
When I die and go to heaven, I know on judgement day
St. Peter will say to me, it ain't gonna be your day

It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
It ain't gonna be your day, boy, it ain't gonna be your day
As my house burned down, I heard a little sound
It ain't gonna be your day

As they turn me away, St. Peter will say
It ain't gonna be your day
