Rodney Crowell - Things That Go Bump In The Day lyrics

rate me

She was a prom queen, taking the world by storm

I felt like James Dean with her on my arm

The night was a free ride, lit by the moon

I prayed from the inside, "Don't let it end soon"

It's funny how the things we want

Become the things we don't in the long run

The one that we let slip through

Becomes the one love true when she's the gone one

Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away

Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day

The things that go bump in the day

I've got a good friend in love with the blues

He lives down the dark end with nothing to lose

Believing in sorrow, he's making the most

And maybe tomorrow he can give up the ghost

It's funny how the things we need

Only make you bleed when the chips fall

The one that made the world go 'round

Just up and knocks you down with a phone call

It's funny how the things we fear

Become the things we hear when we're all alone

The things that we don't understand

Get up and bite your hand like a dog bone

Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away

Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day

Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away

Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day

The things that go bump in the day

The things that go bump in the day
