Just an out of tune song for an out of tune day
I got home from work and I'm not good for anything
I guess I'll have a beer and play it anyway
Just an ordinary guy with a tangled up life
And dreams and emotions that take me by surprise
I don't know why my life hits me right between the eyes
Needless to say, it's been another pointless day
But I thought I'd call you up and let you know
There's nothing on my mind, but an out of tune song...
I'm an amoeba's grandson in a pair of blue jeans
If the world is a stage I must have got lost between scenes
I read the script but I've forgotten what it means
So I sit on my porch with a beat-up guitar
And I watch the girls as they wander past my yard
If they could see me barbeque I know I'd be a star
Needless to say, it's been another pointless day
But I thought I'd call you up and let you know
There's nothing on my mind, but an out of tune song...
Please don't get me wrong
I'm in no mood to complain
I can still feel the sun on my face
Standing in the rain
Just an out of tune song that I should forget
From one of those days when it's safer just to quit
Madmen and fools love to dig a bigger pit
So I sit on my porch and I howl at the moon
I've got this aching feeling that it's ending much too soon
If I could just get this song in tune
Needless to say, it's been another pointless day
But I thought I'd call you up and let you know
There's nothing on my mind, but an out of tune song...
