Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
Bon Jovi · Greatest Hits, The Ultimate Collection [2010]
I'm taking each day and night at a time
I'm feelin' like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
Hey, My name is Jim
Where did I go wrong?
My life's a bargain basement
All the good shit's gone
Just can't hold a job
Where do I belong?
Been sleepin' in my car
My dreams moved on
My name is Billy G.
My love is bought and sold
I'm only 16
I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went
Took my innocence away
The street life ain't much beter
But at least I'm getting paid
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worsr than yesterday
Thursdays, Friday, ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Chours: Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces
And what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
Someday I'll be Saturday night
I'll be back on my feet
I'll be doing alright
It may not be tomorrow
Baby, that's ok
I ain't going down
I'm gonna find a way
Chours: Hey, Man, I'm Alive
I'm taking each day and night at a time
Yeah, I'm down but I know I'll get by
Hey, hey, hey, hey, man, I gotta live my life
Like I ain't got nothing but this roll of the dice
I'm feeling like a Monday but
Someday I'll be Saturday night
Someday I'll Be Saturday Night
