Sammy, pick your shoes up this morning

The cleaning lady's comin' and she won't wait for you

I know what you're thinking

Better pull those pants on, tuck that shirt in

And get yourself some breakfast

But oh the time will go so slow

But it won't be long, it won't be long

We've learned to love, in time we'll learn to cry

We've learned to love the war that we despise

We're contemplating suicide, instead we'll take a drive

And we won't be home 'til after midnight

Sammy, you've already missed your station

It was years ago, but for all you know

You were on a plane to Mexico

The girls at work don't wanna know about your no show

And it's not that hard to have a go and live a little incognito

And oh the time will go so slow

But it won't be long, it won't be long

We've learned to love, in time we'll learn to cry

We've learned to love the war that we despise

We're contemplating suicide, instead we'll take a drive

And we won't be home 'til after midnight

Sammy, I heard someone say

There's hope for you

It was to the tune of some old blues that I heard on the radio

The sun came up this morning

Now didn't it boy

From that altitude you can conclude

It's worth living after all

And the beautiful view's not half my life

And the sun goes down

On the stormy cloud

The sun goes down on the morning cloud

We've learned to love, in time we'll learn to cry

We've learned to love the war that we despise

We're contemplating suicide, instead we'll take a drive

And we won't be home

We won't be home

We won't be home

No, we won't be home

We've learned to love, in time we'll learn to cry

We've learned to love the war that we despise

We're contemplating suicide, instead we'll take a drive

And we won't be home 'til after midnight
