David Allan Coe Tomorrow is Another Day Lyrics:
Yes, the roof, it leaks, and the bed, she squeak.
And the rent it is due in just two more weeks.
But now I just wanna go back to sleep.
Tomorrow's another day.
Tomorrow's another day, yeah.
Now I just wanna go back to sleep.
Tomorrow's another day.
Ye-oh, the palm trees sway to and fro,
I think I'just sit and watch the coconuts grow.
It's hard to get high when you're feelin' so low.
And tomorrow's another day.
Tomorrow's another day, yeah.
It's hard to get high when you're feelin' so low.
Tomorrow's another day.
Well, the mainsail broke on my fishin' boat.
And it's almost time for my rum and coke.
I'll fix it as soon as I have a smoke.
Tomorrow's another day, yeah.
Tomorrow's another day, yeah.
I'll fix it as soon as I have a smoke.
Tomorrow's another day.
Ah, mon.
So you go at night with your lantern bright,
And you sit on the bridge and you get half tight.
Ah, tonight you can't get the fish to bite.
But tomorrow's another day, yeah, yeah.
Tomorrow's another day, yeah.
Yeah, tonight you can't get the fish to bite.
But tomorrow's another day.
Yes, the roof, it leaks, and the bed, she squeaks.

Tomorrow's another day.
[Spoken:]
You know what I mean, mon?
I wanna go fishin' and swimming,
Lookin' at the pretty girls on the beaches, mon.
I don't wanna do no work!
[TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY]
[Written by: David Allan Coe
Performed by: David Allan Coe
Appears on: Human Emotions-1978, [1] [2] & Human Emotions/Spectrum VII (Double
CD)-1995.]
[1] Transcribed from the track on this album.
[2] In the liner notes for this album, Coe writes, "Dedicated to my wife...
Dear Wife, You left me taking our daughter and my dog. You left behind a
painting or two including the first painting you ever did... You will find
me as hard to forget as I have you, because I am everywhere... radio...
magazine... newspaper... TV... even the movies... No, my love, you will
never forget me. And I shall never forget either. That's Human Emotions.
Side one is songs I wrote before you left me ("Would You Lay with Me (in a
Field of Stone)," "If This Is Just a Game," "You Can Count on Me,"
"Mississippi River Queen" and "Tomorrow is Another Day"). Side two is songs
I wrote after you left. I decided to call side one 'Happy Side,' because I
was happy then. We had our new house, our daughter was in school, and you
were 'the happiest I've ever been in my life,' as you told my parents the
day before you drew all the money out of the bank and left... Side two
[is]
called 'Su-i-cide.' The first three songs ("Human Emotions," "(She Finally
Crossed Over) Love's Cheating Line" and "Whiskey & Women") I wrote before
I knew who you were with and where you had gone. The last two songs ("Jack
Daniels If You Please" and "Suicide") I wrote when I got your 'notice of
divorce proceedings...' There's an empty feeling in my chest as I write
these words -- I love you. How silly it seems to say that now... Love,
David. PS: Give my love to our daughter." From all accounts this isn't some
stunt Coe tried for publicity or a joke. Most sources confirm the veracity
of the events and the letter.]
