Sadder Day

You like to eat your grits with butter salt and sugar
You like your coffee instant and black
I always loved the fact but thought that it was so peculiar
How you carried everything you owned on your back seat
Of your 1983 canary yellow Z
You had a unique collection of fast food bag
And all the posted notes of quotes taped to your dashboard
Reminding you life's not so bad
Sad, sadder day
Since I heard you went away
Sad, sadder day
When I can't see your face
What about the day you took me to Skatetown USA
It was raining and there wasn't anywhere we could play
We skated backwards as we held on to each other's hand
Made up choreographer to K.C. and the Sunshine Band
You got tired and said you couldn't sleep last night
You stayed up praying for everybody you knows souls
Then you got misty eyed when you said you weren't afraid to die but you were scared of being alone
Sad, Sadder day
Since I heard you went away
Sad, Sadder day
When I can't see your face
Faster my heart started beating
I got the funniest most awful feeling
You were trying trying to tell me something
I didn't want to know
Sad, Sadder day
Since I heard you went away
Sad, Sadder day
When I can't see your face
