Verse 1
Well I wake up to the same old news, same lonesome bed and Einstein doo
No genius needed here to know this here's a house of blues
Here in my bachelor pad old bachelor dog and a spinster cat
These dreams have turned to rags chained to me in the same old bags
Chorus
Welcome to a day, a day, in Riley's life
Welcome to a day, a day, in Riley's life
Welcome to a day, a day, in Riley's life
Verse 2
Ol' Uncle Murphy had it right you see, I'm a man in misery
knew I would not amount to much, with my reverse Midas Touch
Every woman I meet gets to watch my tongue wrapping around my feet
the day you come along I'll be wearing my coffee, and living this song
Chorus
Bridge
You might call me crazy, you might call me mad
but I'm still the best thing, you ever had
Verse 3
Well the lawn ain't mowed and the sink's piled up and the trash sticks out of the trash can top
phone rings in the middle of the night wrong number, someone looking for a fight
Weather Channel's on, it's the same old news, it's the dog day summertime blues
rattle round this house like a wrecking ball, sometimes I think of you
Chorus
Chorus
