Jimmie Dale Gilmore and the Flatlanders — One Day at a Time lyrics

Lyrics

I live one day at a time.
I dream one dream at a time.
Yesterday’s dead and tomorrow is blind
And I live one day at a time
If you’re surprised to see me back at home
You don’t know how I missed you when I was gone
Don’t ask how long I planned to stay. It never it crossed my mind
'Cause I live one day at a time
I live one day at a time.
I dream one dream at a time.
Yesterday’s dead and tomorrow is blind
And I live one day at a time
There’s a swallow flying across the cloudy sky
Searchin' for a hatch of sun so am I
Don’t ask how long I’ll have to follow him
Perhaps I won’t in time
But I live one day at a time
I live one day at a time
I dream one dream at a time
Yesterday’s dead and tomorrow is blind
And I live one day at a time
