Son of a Gun

Son of a gun


Wake up this morning
Just laying there in bed
The sun came thru the window
Pulls the sheet over my head

Don’t have a job again
 The factory close the doors
We all lose our wages since
 George bush start those stupid wars

Now he is in Texas
A triple billionaire
And my bills are piling up 
But what the hell does he care

Ran out of coffee, this morning 
Just my dumb luck
Maybe will go to McDonalds
And get a coffee for a buck

Then my girl friend calls me
And my stress just went away
When ever I hear her voice
It always bring sunshine to my day

And I wonder why she never 
Take her love and run
Then I said to my self 
You’re one lucky son of a gun

Call the record company
Ask if they got my demo
The girl on the phone says, no
No kindness in her voice just plain, no

I think she was very rude
Maybe she’s having a bad day
Some times you’re in a good mood
And someone just takes away

So I went in to Bips deli
Going to play some quick draw
Went in with a twenty
And was broke when I walk out the door

Use the .ATM in ShopRite
Got some ice cream French vanilla
Going to watch the twilight movie
I like to see that girl Bella

Then my girl friend 
Surprise me and came over 
Now we are having ice cream
And watching twilight under the cover

And I wonder why she never 
Take her love and run
Then I said to my self 
You’re one lucky son of a gun
