Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day
Railroad Dreams and Fishin' Poles: Tomorrow's Anthem Unveiled
Lyrics
Workin' out here on the railroad line
Engaged in labor on the railroad.
Breaking my back for nickles and dimes
Working hard for minimal pay.
Sweatin' in the hot sun all of the time
Enduring physical strain in the constant heat.
Well I wake up and pray that the sun don't shine
Hoping for a cloudy day to avoid the sun.
Tomorrow morning I swear to my soul
Expressing determination for a better future.
I'm gonna go cut me a hickory pole
Planning to cut a hickory pole, possibly for fishing.
And sit right back by the fishin' hole all day
Intending to relax by a fishing hole all day.
Tomorrow
Repeated emphasis on the anticipation of a better day tomorrow.
Tomorrow
-Tomorrow's gonna be another day
-Tomorrow
-Tomorrow
-Tomorrow's gonna be another day
-So go tell that man that I won't be back
Declaring an intention to quit railroad work.
To lay no more of that railroad track
Refusing to lay more railroad track.
I got little green weeds growing round my shack
Describing the presence of weeds around the living quarters.
I keep my money in a gunny sack
Keeping money in a simple sack.
Well I'm never gonna be a millionaire
Acceptance of not becoming wealthy.
Just pass me over cause I don't care
Asking to be overlooked as wealth is not a priority.
I'll sit right back in my easy chair all day
Expressing a desire to relax in comfort.
Tomorrow
Reiterating the expectation of a better day in the future.
Tomorrow
-Tomorrow's gonna be another day
-Tomorrow
-Tomorrow
-Tomorrow's gonna be another day
