"Ain't My Day" lyrics

Chrokee sat on the same barstool
Everyday 'til his wife dragged him back
Drinking and talking about the old days
"They don't make them anymore like that"
I did extra work in the movies for so long
That starring role never came through...
Horse opera stories were my specialty
I remember when I met the Duke

Oh... it ain't my day...
Oh... it ain't my day...

Now I'm sixty years old
And I sit by the phone

Every night by the light of the soaps
I'll bet my last dollar
That Jock and his sons never once
Burned their hands on a rope...

Oh... it ain't my day...
Oh... it ain't my day...

And I'm trying to, dying to
Sit back and see my old face

Oh... it ain't my day...
Oh... it ain't my day...
