Two to three times in the greasy grunt head
Hard to believe the old workhorse is dead
He finally wore out that’s what your grandmamma said
Top it all off, your baby kicked you out of bed
Well, it’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
It’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
Twister touched down on your cousin’s car lot
Your teacher got busted and the preacher got shot
The last thing he said was Lord thanks a lot
I was tired of living in this old melting pot
Well, it’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
It’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
Well, how can you say that, you don’t even know
Trouble coming at us flying loose and low
Like a buzzard in a treetop looking at his last meal
Like a possum in the headlights that’s how I feel
Highway contractor dynamited your barn
Ran a four-lane freeway through the middle of your farm
You were told your livestock wouldn’t come to any harm
Then an eighteen-wheeler dropped a load of chloroform
Well, it’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
It’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
Kerosene heater caught the curtains on fire
Your teenage daughter couldn’t get any higher
Caught your best britches on a strand of barbwire
State trooper grinned, then he called you a liar
Well, it’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
It’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
Well, how can you say that, you don’t even know
Every time you leave you find there’s nowhere to go
Like a surfer caught inside on a twenty-foot day
Like a paid-off politician, you’ve got nothing to say
Two to three times in the greasy grunt head
Hard to believe the old workhorse is dead
He finally wore out that what’s your grandmamma said
Top it all off, your baby kicked you out of bed
Well, it’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
It’s been a bad day, but it’s gonna get better
