Sometimes It Happens Overnight
We're an eclectic group of winos and scofflaws just rolling with the flow.
Story behind the song
Just thinking about life...

Sometimes It Happens Overnight
© Ben Burton MARCH 8, 2008
V1
Rolled out to greet a sunny day that morning
The mirror on my dresser Windex clear
I got a look at something that was forming
On my temples I saw traces of gray hair
CHORUS
Sometimes it happens over night
A sudden change, you realize
That nothing stays the same in life
Sometimes it happens over night
V2
I traveled to my college class reunion
Our ten year soiree at a nice resort
I couldn't wait to see my old friend Susan
A sixteen wheeler struck her car the day before
Sometimes it happens over night
A sudden change, you realize
That nothing stays the same in life
Sometimes it happens over night
V3
I had a dream I shook hands with the devil
Who promised he would ease my lonely road
He struck me as a warm and friendly fellow
'til my breathing stopped, his hands around my throat
Sometimes it happens over night
A sudden change, you realize
That nothing stays the same in life
Sometimes it happens over night
BRIDGE
My ex old lady called me up
She needed peace-of-mind
For she had dreamed I choked and died
I told her I was well enough
She stopped by for some wine
And just like that, life ain't so tough
Sometimes it happens over night
A sudden change, you realize
That nothing stays the same in life
Sometimes it happens over night
Sometimes it happens over night
