Sunlight in My Pocket

[Verse 1] The barber lost his Cadillac to a woman selling pain, the baker put a nickel down and bought it back a'gain. There's a preacher on the corner with a suitcase full of snow, he says, “Son, you need direction.” I said, “Brother, let it go.” [Chorus] Hey, hey, let the good wheel roll, I got sunlight in my pocket and nothing that I owe. Hey, hey, wherever this road goes, if tomorrow wants to find me, well, tomorrow oughta know. [Verse 2] Miss Lucy wears a Sunday hat on every Tuesday night, she keeps a broken television just to watch the room turn light. Jimmy says the moon is crooked, Sam says Jimmy talks too much, I said, “Pour another coffee I ain't qualified to judge.” [Chorus] Hey, hey, let the good wheel roll, I got sunlight in my pocket and nothing that I owe. Hey, hey, wherever this road goes, if tomorrow wants to find me, well, tomorrow oughta know. [Bridge] Well, the clock downtown quit working, but nobody missed a train, somebody stole the weather vane and blamed it on the rain. I don't know who's keeping score, I don't know who told 'em to I'm just leaning out the window watching Monday turn to blue. [Final Chorus] Hey, hey, let the good wheel roll, I got sunlight in my pocket and nothing that I owe. Hey, hey, wherever this road goes, if tomorrow wants to find me, well, tomorrow oughta know. [Outro]
