In Colorful Gift Wrapping

There’s something to be said
for feeling the way I do
I know it’s all in my head
but, damn, it’s making me blue

Tempting as it may sometimes be
to fold and walk away
I know you’ll be with me
So, I’ll check my bet and stay

Just like tomorrow’s yesterday
is still caught up in today
something new is upon us
we can’t let it get away
Open it up and take it in
I feel a change will happen
Time to be new again
in colorful gift wrapping

I packed up my travelin’ bags
and flung ‘em in the back
Livin’ life from rags to rags prayin’
God, please cut me some slack

Now I’m moving down the highway
with passengers and precious cargo
and I know my yesterday’s
Got nothin’ on tomorrow

Hey, Mom and Dad, look at me, look where your boy is now
I’ve done things to make you smile and things to make you proud
Hey, to my sweet honey and my precious baby boys
I want to do my best for you, and share in all your joys

Just like tomorrow’s yesterday
is still caught up in today
Something new is upon us
we can’t let it get away
Open it up and take it in
I feel a change will happen
Time to be new again
