Verse 1
Alarm clock said seven but it rang at eight
Dang daylight savings sealed my fate
Jumped from the bed in a half-awake haze
Tripped on the cat in the hallway maze

Hit the wall and the pictures came down
Grandma and Elvis face-first on the ground
Stumbled to the shower thinking “save this day”
But the hot water must’ve ran away

Pre-Chorus
Soap hit the floor with a slippery thud
Reached to grab it—turned the shower to flood
Cold water blasting like a mountain storm
Lord have mercy, that ain’t the norm

Chorus
Why me Lord, what’d I do today?
Did I miss some rule in the human play?
I ain’t robbed a bank, I ain’t keyed no Ford
But the world keeps yelling “Why me, Lord?”
Burnt my toast and spilled my brew
Every step feels like a cartoon blooper too
If this is some test, I’m clearly bored
So tell me again… why me, Lord?

Verse 2
Stepped from the shower, floor slick as ice
Did a flying split that weren’t very nice
Toast turned black like a hockey puck
Coffee hit my shirt—well ain’t that luck

Ran to the car with a prayer and a sigh
Only to park in a highway line
Traffic crawling like a Sunday parade
Every red light felt personally made

Pre-Chorus
Finally rolled in ten minutes late
Boss just smiled and sealed my fate
Said “Hope you’re ready, don’t be a clown
Your meeting’s clear across town.”

Chorus
Why me Lord, what’d I do today?
Did I step in karma along the way?
I ain’t stole a thing, I ain’t swung no sword
Still I’m asking “Why me, Lord?”
Coffee stains and a twisted knee
And a cat back home laughing at me
If patience is a virtue stored
I’m fresh out today… why me, Lord?

Why me, Lord?  Why me, Lord?

Bridge
Then my phone buzzed with a message from my home
“Don’t forget milk or your sleeping alone”
I just laughed out loud at the steering wheel
Guess some days are just part of the deal

Final Chorus
Why me Lord, guess that’s life
Some days butter side hits the knife
You shake your head and thank the Lord
That tomorrow ain’t today, Lord
So if you’re having one like mine
Where every star won’t quite align
Just raise your coffee to the sky and roar
“Alright already… WHY ME LORD?!”

Why me Lord :)
