Lyrics
5 Star Day
Words and music by Darren Holden and Bryan Steele
This was supposed to be my 5 star day, my lucky number
Mister Radio Guy your happy voice pulled me out of my slumber
You had me sold when you said I would come into some money
Considering all I?ve been through I don?t think that?s very funny
You know that your words they made me jump right out of bed and holler
And run to the store to play the lottery with my last dollar
I left my car out front and never even saw the sign
I didn?t win and came back out to a parking fine
Radio Guy what did you say?
You?re turning my blue skies into gray
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
I don?t understand the games you play
I guess it don?t matter anyway
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
Wasn?t this meant to be the day that I would find my romance?
Mister Horoscope Guy where were you when she told me I had no chance?
I put it out there, but she threw it all right back in my face
If you were here right now I?d love to put you back in your place
You know that your words they made me jump right out of bed and holler
Things should be cool, instead I?m burning hot under the collar
What gives you the right to talk to me as if you know it all
I would have been fine, but you ran my day right into a wall
Radio Guy what did you say?
You?re turning my blue skies into gray
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
I don?t understand the games you play
I guess it don?t matter anyway
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
You know that your words they made me jump right out of bed and holler
Things should be cool, instead I?m burning hot under the collar
What gives you the right to talk to me as if you know it all
I would have been fine, but you ran my day right into a wall
Radio Guy what did you say?
You?re turning my blue skies into gray
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
I don?t understand the games you play
I guess it don?t matter anyway
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
This was supposed to be my 5 star day
