When I Woke Up Today

Well this morning found me wandering through my mind

Another hangover hiding from the sunshine

I put some sunglasses on to stare out the window

Yeah I'm just looking for a way to tell the world hello

Dealing with the pain of trying to make a dream fly

Taking the good and the bad with a big smile

Uncertain roads and the thrill of the chase

Man I sure felt life's embrace when I woke up today

I saw a girl at a bus stop crying on her telephone

And a funeral procession heading down cemetery road

Well there's a bride and a groom outside the Church of Christ

Yeah it's a cut of the cards, it's a roll of the dice

When you're dealing with the pain of trying to make a dream fly

Taking the good and the bad with a big smile

Uncertain roads and the thrill of the chase

Man I sure felt life's embrace when I woke up today

And everyday brings another chance for you to take

And everyday brings another choice for you to make

When you wake up with the pain of trying to make a dream fly

Taking the good and the bad with a big smile

Uncertain roads and the thrill of the chase

But I'd have to say I'm in a pretty good place

When you're dealing with the pain of trying to make a dream fly

Taking the good and the bad with a big smile

Uncertain roads and the thrill of the chase

Man I sure felt life's embrace when when I woke up today
