Song Lyrics

Lucky One appears onLucky One

Rag Daze

by Alex McMurray Velvety Pod Music (BMI)

no place to go no place to be
i went downtown in ’93
all that’s left is what you see from the rag daze
lost my place one day in june
but someone lent me their spare room
he wasn’t my friend but he would be soon through the rag daze

 

the rag daze are gone

the rag days are gone
look out joe we ‘bout to blow this rag day song

 

ruff and raw and ragged too
busted coats and taped up shoes

it was a bar room xanadu through the rag daze 

and I took my last good pair of pants

went out looking for some new romance
i broke my foot and learned to dance through the rag days

 

the rag daze are gone

the rag days are gone
look out joe we ‘bout to blow this rag day song

 

got so cold we almost died
you got to wear your coat just to sleep inside
still and all it was quite a ride through the rag daze 

but i made it through without a hitch

i ain’t got much but i’m still quite rich

when i want some heat i just turn a switch to the rag daze

 

oh the rag daze are gone

the rag days are gone
look out joe we ‘bout to blow this rag day song
