Todd Snider - Just Like Overnight Lyrics






Chain smoking cigarettes on the airplane
You were waiting right there at my gate
We had to pull of the highway
Just to find a payphone
When that line was busy though
You know we just had to wait

Seems like day after day goes by like nothing
Is ever going to change
Just like overnight it's like
It ain't never going to be same
Hitting what you're aiming for
Forgetting what you missed
Always seem to know for sure now is
How we can't go on like this

Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight

We've been killing our time here now forever
Since way back before all this so called reality
Hell I remember when you used to have to
Walk all the way over
Just to turn the channel
On that goddamn TV

It seems like day after day goes by like nothing
Is ever going to change
Just like overnight it's like
It ain't never going to be same
Hitting what you're aiming for
You're forgetting what you missed
Always seem to know for sure now is
How we can't go on like this

Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day

    Him & John Prine.
    Also, there’s Austin’s Sam Baker with his unique style & observations. He’ll have you laughing one second, & sobbing the next – his shows are a roller coaster.

  11. V.... B....

    Saw you in Boston a few years back. Was with my 20something year old son. He and his brother had a rock band ( Leaders Led). We will never forget your kindness as you invited my son and me into your bus. You gave him some merch and great advice. Thank you. He was going through a tough time. But you didn't know that. Thanks for your kindness. Love your music so much.
