Tomorrow Is Another Day

YES, THE ROOF LEAKS AND THE BED SHE SQUEAK
AND THE RENT IS DUE IN JUST TWO MORE WEEKS
NOW I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO SLEEP
TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY
OH THE PALM TREES SWAY TO AND FRO
I THINK I'll JUST SIT AND WATCH THE COCONUTS GROW
ITS HARD TO GET HIGH WHEN YOUR FELLING SO LOW
AND TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY
WELL THE MAINSAIL BROKE ON MY FISHING BOAT
AND it's ALMOST TIME FOR MY RUM AND COKE
ILL FIX IT AS SOON AS I HAVE A SMOKE
TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY YEAH
SO YOU GO AT NIGHT WITH YOUR LANTERN BRIGHT
AND YOU SIT ON THE BRIDGE AND YOU GET HALF TIGHT
AH TONIGHT YOU can't GET THE FISH TO BITE
BUT TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY, YEAH YEAH
SPOKEN:
TOMORROWS ANOTHER DAY
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN SON?
I WANT TO GO FISHING AND SWIMMING
LOOKING AT THE PRETTY GIRLS
ON THE BEACHES, SON
I DON'T WANT TO DO NO WORK!
Tomorrow Is Another Day
David Allan Coe's 'Tomorrow Is Another Day' stands as a quintessential example of his signature blend of country and rockabilly, delivered with his characteristic gravelly voice and raw, unfiltered delivery. Released during a period where Coe was solidifying his status as a provocative icon in the Southern rock and outlaw country scenes, the track exemplifies the genre's emphasis on storytelling and emotional vulnerability. The song captures the weary optimism often found in Coe's work, reflecting on the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of moving forward despite past hardships. As part of his extensive discography, the recording showcases his ability to craft anthems that resonate deeply with listeners, blending traditional country instrumentation with a gritty, rebellious edge that defined his era and influenced countless subsequent artists in the genre.
