Craig Bickhardt - A Day Well Spent lyrics

rate me

I held down my first job before I learned to shave

I still recall old dodger and the sound advice he gave

If you want to build a fortune

Better guard each hard earned cent

Any day you save a dollar is a day well spent

Soon I started hearing of that sweet forbidden fruit

Was the hottest day of summer and she had no swimming suit

I begged her and I pleaded

Till I got her to consent

I guess I'd have to score it as a day well spent

All my days were numbered from the morning of my birth

It's taken me ten thousand just to learn what one is worth

If I gained this wisdom from each casual event

Every day it cost me was a day well spent

When my nights grow longer and my eyes can't take the sun

And all my time is borrowed and my living nearly done

In the twilight I will wonder

Where the golden hours went

Any day I can account for was a day well spent

All my days were numbered from the morning of my birth

It's taken me ten thousand just to learn what one is worth

If I gained this wisdom from each casual event

Every day it cost me was a day well spent

Day well spent

Day well spent

Day well spent
