Lyrics

Some Days You Eat the Bear

Verse

It's morning, the sun's out, and I'm feeling pretty great
But then my zipper caught, and sure as heck I'm runnin' late.
Traffic was a wreck - it's enough to make ya swear -
So I took my secret shortcut - got in with time to spare.

Chorus

You can't expect each little thing to go your way,
But sometimes you'll catch a rainbow on a rainy day.
It's like my daddy told me - no matter what you do,
Some days you eat the bear
Some days the bear eats you.

Verse

Went shopping for a pickup, 'til I saw the asking price
Got back home in time to watch the sunset with my wife.
I burned the steaks again - fast food for us tonight
But that guilty feeling vanished when I kissed the kids goodnight.

Chorus

You can't expect each little thing to go your way,
But sometimes you'll catch a rainbow on a rainy day.
It's like my daddy told me - no matter what you do,
Some days you eat the bear
Some days the bear eats you.

Bridge

Hey - some days you win, some days you lose
One thing I know for sure is that's the God's honest truth.
Every time you think you'll never catch a break again
Just remember, it all comes out even in the end.

Chorus

You can't expect each little thing to go your way,
But sometimes you'll catch a rainbow on a rainy day.
It's like my daddy told me - no matter what you do,
Some days you eat the bear
Some days the bear eats you.
Yeah, some days you eat the bear
Some days the bear eats you!
