Mason Jennings Lyrics: The Day

The Day

I will be the first, my love, to say I was mistaken
So lead me to the place my heart was taken
And I'm not going to sit around and take this kind of trashing
You won't find me on my knees
At your door I won't come scratching

Oh my dear, my darling
'Tis the day, 'tis the day
The day of the boot
Everything is falling
You best not come home today

We went up like a sycamore tree
Down like a cherry bomb
All your escapades my dear
Have made me hate this whole damn town
I can feel our temperature dropping by degrees
All of my good thoughts of you have become bad memories

Oh my dear, my darling
'Tis the day, 'tis the day
The day of the boot
Everything is falling
Get away

Oh my love, oh my love
Please come down
Please come down
Oh my love, oh my love
Please come down
Please come down
Oh my love, oh my love

Oh my little sweet love
You better run as fast as you can
I'm gonna put it to you as plain as the day
You have wronged the wrong man

Oh my little sweet one
You better run as fast as you can
I'm gonna put it to you as plain as the day
You have wronged the wrong man

Oh my little sweet one
You better run as fast as you can
I'm gonna put it to you as plain as the day
You have wronged the wrong man

Oh my little sweet one
Run as fast as you can
I'm gonna put it to you plain as the day
You have wronged your last man
