I got inspired to write this song while listening to the only awful performance I have ever seen at the Bluebird Cafe.  On his fourth monotonous song in a row, this guy sang "There are days when I need Jesus", and I thought "if he does not finish that by saying 'and days that I need Gin' I am going to scream".  I didn't scream, but I did get a good line.

There are days that I need Jesus

And days that I need gin

There are mornings when I wake up

And I don’t know which sort of day I’m in

There are days that I see heaven

Looking up from my own hell

There are days I almost call you. . . but I don’t

I guess it’s just as well

        This is one of those days

        Just one of those days

        Seems like every day

        Is just one of those days

There were days that I was tempted

And days that I gave in

There were days of morning afters

And the one that made it end

There are days when I imagine

I don’t love you anymore

I heard time’s supposed to heal me

But each day seems worse than the one before. . . Oh Lord. . .

        Chorus

I know that some day everything will be just fine

But now it seems like every day is spent

Just marking out the time. . .

        Chorus
