"Just Like Overnight" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

Chain smoking cigarettes on the airplane
You were waiting right there at my gate
We had to pull off the highway just to find a payphone
When that line was busy though, you know we just a-had to wait

[Pre-Chorus:]
Seems like day after day
Goes by like nothing is ever gon' change
But just like overnight
It's like it ain't never gon' be same
Hitting what you're aiming for
Forgetting what you missed
All we seem to know for sure now
Is how we can't go on like this

[Chorus:]
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight

We've been killing our time here now forever
Since way back before all this so-called reality
Hell, I remember when you used to have to walk all the way over
Just to turn the channel on that goddamn TV

[Pre-Chorus:]
Seems like day after day
Goes by like nothing is ever gon' change
But just like overnight
It's like it ain't never gon' be same
Hitting what you're aiming for
You're forgetting what you missed
All we seem to know for now
How we can't go on like this

[Chorus:]
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
It's just like overnight
Day after day
