Another Park, Another Sunday Lyrics
I'm sittin' in my room, I'm starin' out my window
And I wonder where you've gone
Thinking back on the happy hours just before the dawn
Outside the wind is blowin'
It seems to call your name again
Where have you gone
City streets and lonely highways
I travel down
My car is empty and the radio just seems to bring me down
I'm just tryin' to find me
A pretty smile that I can get into
It's true, I'm lost without you
Another lonely park, another Sunday
Why is it life turns out that way
Just when you think you got a good thing
It seems to slip away
It's warm outside, no clouds are in the sky
But I need a place to go and hide
I keep it to myself
I don't want nobody else
To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes
Another park, another Sunday
Why is it life turns out that way
Just when you think you got a good thing
It seems to slip away
Another park, another Sunday
It's dark and empty thanks to you
I got to get myself together
But it's hard to do
And I wonder where you've gone
Thinking back on the happy hours just before the dawn
Outside the wind is blowin'
It seems to call your name again
Where have you gone
City streets and lonely highways
I travel down
My car is empty and the radio just seems to bring me down
I'm just tryin' to find me
A pretty smile that I can get into
It's true, I'm lost without you
Why is it life turns out that way
Just when you think you got a good thing
It seems to slip away
But I need a place to go and hide
I keep it to myself
I don't want nobody else
To see me cryin' all those tears in my eyes
Why is it life turns out that way
Just when you think you got a good thing
It seems to slip away
Another park, another Sunday
It's dark and empty thanks to you
I got to get myself together
But it's hard to do

I think the melody is wistful and a little sad. He seems to be going through a pointless day, another park another Sunday mostly because he's lost someone close to him, like a girlfriend (It's true, I'm lost without you)
Tom Johnston said in an interview it was a song about a personal break up with his girlfriend. This song was released as the first single off of their album, but radio stations stopped playing it because of the line : “and the radio just seems to bring me down.” Miraculously, the DJs flipped it over and started playing the B side with a tune called “Black Water” (which was on the B side because the record company didn’t think it was a hit. On its own without promotion, the song shot to number 1 on US Billboard to become the first number one record for The Doobie Brothers and for Patrick Simmons who wrote the guitar riff between music sessions, and one of only two songs to go to number one after being released as a B side record! Wow!!! What unique history!!
More than the meaning of the words the sound, the feel reminds me of hanging out with (THE ATKINSON) family by the pool, Ohhhhh yeah
