The Greatest Day

Lyrics:

A lazy hound lying on the couch
sleeping the day away
The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains
warming the old dog’s face
The savory smell from a wood burning stove
holds you while you awake
Brew some tea while others emerge
ready to start their day

Cause this is your day
a slow paced way
so drink your tea as long as you like
It’s Saturday
everyone can play today
so grab a guitar and step up to the mic

We start to play just two guys and a small array
of instruments we play in E
It starts out sparse but soon it fills the whole room and people are called to see
And who walks in but a singer and an audience
everyone finds their place
The rhythm swells and every person feels the groove we’re moving this tiny space

Cause this is your day
and we were made to play
so just roll up whenever you like
It’s Saturday
everyone can play today
so grab your honey and dance into the night

I just wanted to play on this sunny Saturday
with good friends and my lover by my side
and I know it doesn’t pay well not money anyway
but it’s the best thing I got in my life

I guess you could say that we all have it made
young and beautiful and full of life
we worked our week away but now it’s our day
and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this right
