Things That Go Bump In The Day

She was a prom queen, taking the world by storm I felt like James Dean with her on my arm The night was a free ride, lit by the moon I prayed from the inside, "Don't let it end soon" It's funny how the things we want Become the things we don't in the long run The one that we let slip through Becomes the one love true when she's the gone one Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day The things that go bump in the day I've got a good friend in love with the blues He lives down the dark end with nothing to lose Believing in sorrow, he's making the most And maybe tomorrow he can give up the ghost It's funny how the things we need Only make you bleed when the chips fall The one that made the world go 'round Just up and knocks you down with a phone call It's funny how the things we fear Become the things we hear when we're all alone The things that we don't understand Get up and bite your hand like a dog bone Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day Oh, oh, we're never gonna get away Yeah, yeah, from the things that go bump in the day The things that go bump in the day The things that go bump in the day --- Things That Go Bump in the Day - Rodney Crowell
