"Some Days" lyrics

Some days are good, some years are not
Knuckles on wood, nerves up in knots
Karma keeps me cautious and bourbon keeps me brave
And just a little too honest to believe that I am saved

But I am still new at getting old
Pay these dues and wear down these bones
Breakin' is easy and hope is hard
And some days are good and some years aren't

Some people change, some things don't
When life's a stage it's all mirrors and smoke
And everyone's a friend 'til the hard times come around
But what I've learned I learned the way no one tells you about

'Cause I am still new at getting old
I pay these dues and wear down these bones
Breakin' is easy and hope is hard
'Cause some days are good and some years aren't

I am still new at getting old
I've paid these dues, I've worn out these bones
Breakin' is easy, hope is hard
Some days are good and some years aren't
Some days are good and some years aren't
But some days are good
