Another day for redemption (Terry Murphy)

~Second chances, surprises, random acts of goodwill…it all adds up…cuz every day is a new day~

Morning paper
Sittin on the table
News for the day
Ain’t that great
Move the coffee cup
While I’m still able
Then I turn the page
It’s never too late

My dog shoulda died
But he’s lyin’ by my feet
I found my house cat
In the middle of the street
The breeze through the porch
Is keeping out the heat
I guess it’s gonna be
Another day for redemption

I let my hair grow
When I turned 50
Some old friends
Asked a lot of questions
Saturday morning
Went to take a drive
Instead I cut my hair
Another day for redemption

Had a black Beemer
A three twenty five
A hole in the roof
For suntan consumption
Got the evil eye
For a hip euro car
I gave it away
Another day for redemption

Steal a lousy nickel
Gonna lose a dime
Just give it away
Comes back all the time
Take a little time
To pause for reflection
Cuz that’s the way it goes
Another day for redemption
