bill payne & shaun murphy





took a walk in my old neighborhood

held my memories in check

my first roll in the hay

like a roll in the gutter

it was nothing like i expected



i said hold on, hold on tight

close your eyes (fool) and don’t you fight it

i’ll take you for the ride of our life

just another sunday



i ran into this fortune teller

i said tell me about my life

as the candles glowed

my hand she took hold of

to run down her prediction



with her eyes rolled up

inside her head

my thoughts of fame and wealth

by the time my fortune cookie unfolded

the crystal-ball exploded



i said hold on, hold on tight

close your eyes (fool) and don’t you fight it

i’ll take you for the ride of our life

just another sunday

your sand castle built with the tide coming

your empty life intact

you’ve been handed the bill with no money to pay

just another small distraction



you say it doesn’t matter but the roads we cross

the ins and outs we’re lacking

it comes back together at the end of the day

the traps of our own making



i said hold on, hold on tight

close your eyes (fool) and don’t you fight it

i’ll take you for the ride of our life

just another sunday





it’s a tale in a shell that you’re bound to break out of

but the way you live your life

your hands gripping at fate as it falls off your plate

in spite of your intentions



i said hold on, hold on tight

close your eyes (fool) and don’t you fight it

i’ll take you for the ride of our life

just another sunday
