I Can't See Tomorrow

I can't see tomorrow
today is just too long
each hour drags on by
like an old blues song

Can't reach for a drink
stopped many years ago
Aint never snorted cocain
no, not one little blow

I can't see tomorrow
gotta get thru today.
Somehow push on thru
to make a better way.

Ain't never begged before
intimate and humbling affair.
Everything closing in on me
frig and cubbard both bare.

I can't see tomorrow
wonder what it may bring.
It's even getting hard
to keep the songs I sing.

Troubling times arrived
hanging like a willow tree.
Dragging with it shadows
stabbing fear all over me.

Them ole blues tunes
record today's sorrow.
Cloudy like "muddy waters"
I just can't see tomorrow.
