Ordinary Blues

It's Friday

But it feels like Tuesday

I just don't know what to say



It's freezing out

The wind is blowing about

And it makes me want to just run away



I wish I could be in California

I wish I could be somewhere else



I've got a job

But it makes me sob

Because I've got to work everyday



I'd rather sing

Or do some artistical thing

I only wish I could figure out how to make it pay



I wish I could be a success

I wish I didn't need this job



I've got the blues

The routine is ordinary blues

And I feel like I can't stay



Yeah it's true

I don't know what to do

But I can't keep living this way



I wish I could be in New York

I wish I could be somewhere else
