Lyrics
Oh, I had a bad night last night
Expressing a negative experience from the previous night.
People you know things just didn't go right
Highlighting that things didn't go well.
I had a bad, bad, bad night last night
Emphasizing the severity of the bad night.
People you know things just didn't go right
Reiteration of things not going right.
You know I lost all my money on the boat
Revealing a financial loss on a boat.
And I'm standing here to tell you all I'm down so broke
Expressing the narrator's current state of being broke.
I got a call from my baby this morning
Receiving a call from the narrator's significant other.
Said Buddy you know you just gotta pay
Being informed about the necessity of payment.
I got a call from my baby this morning, yeah
Repeating the call from the significant other.
It said Buddy you just gotta pay
Reiterating the need for payment.
I shook my head and said
Expressing the narrator's disbelief or frustration.
People you know this just ain't my day
Conveying that the day is not going well.
Oh I went in to a friend of mine
Visiting a friend who is in a bad financial state.
And he was broke, busted and disgusting
Describing the friend's dire situation.
Yes, I went to a friend of mine
Repeating the visit to another friend in a similar condition.
And he was broke, busted and disgusted
Emphasizing the second friend's financial struggles.
And all he did was shook his had and walked away
Describing the friend's reaction to the narrator's situation.
And said Buddy Guy, this just ain't my day
Quoting the friend's response, acknowledging a bad day.
That makes two of us
Expressing solidarity with the friend's sentiment.
