lyrics

A Day Late , a Dollar Short M. Scott Nielsen ©1998
M Scott Nielsen

Time on my hands, ten bucks in my jeans
I got the cupboard stocked up with some pork’n’beans
I do my Christmas shopping at the five and dime
My lucks gona change, I’m just bidding my time

Chorus:
I’m a day late, about dollar short
Writin’ home with no good news to report
I’m tired of loosing but I think I’m snake bit
I lost the ticket when my number hit.

Could have been a rich man, maybe it’s true
When lady luck smiled I think she smiled on you
There aint no use in cryin’ about what might have been
But I was riding on the train when my ship came in

Chorus

My old car is all busted and bent
I’m three weeks late with my rent
Every bill collector is lookin’ for me
But I’ll be alright, you just wait and see

Chorus:

"I'm a 50's rocker and never was told how to grow up and when to grow old . . ." to quote one of my tunes and it sums me up pretty well. I have been writing songs since the early 60's. In the 70's I wrote children's songs for Captain Kangaroo. I have been a writer and publisher ASCAP member since 1973.

I write across several genres: country, rock and adult alternative. ... more
