Day After Day

Grew up drinkin' whiskey from the bottle
Workin' at our daddy's antique store
Knew she'd never leave the town where she was born
Knew she shouldn't ask for any more

Her mama died when she was only thirteen
She raised her brothers up quite on her own
One moved away and the other's back in jail
Now it's her and daddy all alone

And they've been waiting for what's coming next
Just prayin' things don't always stay this way
And they've been asking Jack and Jose
Oh, it's the same answer day after day

Wheels like lonely [?]
Don’t need nobody else
She can grow old in this dusty town
Passing time by the old church bells

Someday she closes her eyes
And thinks of far away
Someday she wakes up feelin’ hopeful
But that feeling, it don’t stay

And she’s been waiting for what’s coming next
Just prayin' things don't always stay this way
She’s been asking Jack and Jose
Oh, it's the same answer day after day

Twenty years of lookin’ down the road
A man came in and bought up most the town
Folks moved along, sold their land for something new
But she and daddy keep on keepin’ on

And they've been waiting for what's coming next
Just prayin' things don't always stay this way
And they've been asking Jack and Jose
Oh, it's the same answer day after day

And they've been waiting for what's coming next
Just prayin' things don't always stay this way
And they've been asking Jack and Jose
Oh, it's the same answer day after day
