ONE OF THOSE DAYS
(WHEN I MISS LESTER FLATT)

VERSE 1: THE RADIO'S PLAYING A ROCK 'N ROLL SONG
THEY'RE HAVING A PARTY AND I DON'T BELONG
THEY SAY I'M TOO COUNTRY, THEY SAY I'M NOT COOL
AND MAYBE MY THINKING'S A LITTLE OLD SCHOOL

CHORUS: IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I MISS LESTER FLATT
I SEE THAT OLE GUITAR SLUNG OVER HIS BACK
THAT THUMB PICK A-DOIN' A G RUN OR TWO
AND I HEAR HIM SANGING THE SALTY DOG BLUES
IT'S NOT A SAD FEELING, JUST A MATTER OF FACT
IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I MISS LESTER FLATT

VERSE 2: IT'S ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I COULD GET THE BLUES
I'VE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT AND KNOW YOU HAVE TOO
ONE OF THOSE DAYS I CAN'T HELP LOOKING BACK
ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I MISS LESTER FLATT

VERSE 3: I SEE AN OLD BUS ON A DUSTY BACK ROAD
SONG BOOKS AND INSTRUMENTS READY TO LOAD
IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN AN EMOTION LIKE THAT
JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHEN I MISS LESTER FLATT
