(by Bruce R. Hornsby)



Woke up this morning looking at the screen

There's a couple of men talking

I'm not sure what they mean

There's a conversation many men running wild

We learn about the world while they're fighting in the aisles



Here we go

What do you say, what do you know

You've got your life and you watch it away

Well, it's just another day in this old town

So get down



Home Shopping Channel's got us by the eyes

Scrambling to the phone, ordering porcelain flies

Talk to the women, talk to the wives

Everybody's buying important things for their lives



Here we go

What do you say, what do you know

You've got your life and you watch it away

Well, it's just another day in this old town

So get down



He's a high performance engine with Jesus as the fuel

Old father's handing out forty acres and a mule

Preaching the word of prosperity

Make a little money, they might just put you on t.v.



Here we go

What do you say, what do you know

You've got your life and you watch it away

Ain't no big thing it's just another day

Ain't no big thing so let it ring

Let it ring, George



Turn off the lights, honey, then turn off the set

Life around here don't make a lot of damned sense

As I closed my eyes, I saw in my mind

Somebody selling me a nickel for a dime



Here we go

What do you say, what do you know

You've got your life and you watch it away

Well, it's just another day in this old town

So get down, ain't no big thing so let it ring

In this old town so get down

It's another day so go ahead

Go ahead

Everybody go
