Someday I'll Be Saturday Night [Original Demo] lyrics

Hey, my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam

My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone

I just can't hold a job. Where did I go wrong?

I'm sleeping in my car; my dreams moved on

My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold

I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old

My foster daddy went and took my innocence away

The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid

Tuesday just might go my way

It can't get worse than yesterday

Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind

But somehow I'll survive

Hey, man, I'm alive

As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight

Hey, man, I know I'll get by

When I wanna die

I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride

I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were a Saturday night

I can't say my name, my life is on the line

They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime

I wish that I could be in another time and place

With someone else's soul and someone else's face

This world ain't so cut and dry, but I can't 'why?' wrong or right

I ain't here to justify what I gotta do to survive

Hey, man, I'm alive

As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight

Hey, man, I know I'll get by

When I wanna die

I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride

I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were a Saturday night

I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

Tuesday just might go my way

It can't get worse than yesterday

Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind

Somehow I'll survive

Hey, man, I'm alive

As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight

Hey, man, I know I'll get by

When I wanna die

I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride

I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night

I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
