Jon Bon Jovi
Someday I’ll Be Saturday Night (Demo)
[Interlude]
No, I thought that was a nice, uh, performance
Rollin'
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Intro]
I'm goin' drinkin'
[Verse 1]
Hey my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam
My life's a bargain basement and all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job, where did I go wrong?
Been sleeping in my car, my dreams moved on
My name is Billie Jean, my love is bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went, took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better, but at least I'm getting paid
[Pre-Chorus]
And Tuesday just might go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
[Chorus]
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey man, I know I'll get by (Oh, oh, oh)
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were Saturday night
[Verse 2]
I can't say my name, my life is on the line
They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime
I wish that I could be in another time and place
With someone else's soul and someone else's face
[Pre-Chorus]
This world ain't so cut and dry
But I can't "why," wrong or right
I ain't here to justify
What I gotta do to survive
[Chorus]
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey man, I know I'll get by (Oh, oh, oh)
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were Saturday night
[Post-Chorus]
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
That's right
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Tuesdays just might go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
Somehow I'll survive
[Chorus]
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey man, I know I'll get by (Oh, oh, oh)
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
Feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Post-Chorus]
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
[Outro]
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
