Days Are Short Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Days are short and I ain't down 

The sun is on the hill 

Looking in my suitcase for a friend 

The door was opened wide 

You know I lost a little pride 

And inside it was just another man 

Every day another man reaches out his hand 

Every moment there's a shifting in the sand 

Every whisper in the wind brings a good man back again 

Settle me down in my dreams tonight 

Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away 

Lots of folks will tell you that 

A man can go through life 

Taking what he wants along the way 

But until all men are freed 

Each one gets but what he needs 

The experience of living every day 

Every day another man reaches out his hand 

Every moment there's a shifting in the sand 

Every whisper in the wind brings a good man back again 

Settle me down in my dreams tonight 

Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away 

I woke up this morning 

I awoke upon my knees 

Crying ooh, wee, I don't know where I am 

I feel just like a clown 

Every time I move around 

Because, after all I'm just another man
