Backstory:

I had this idea of flipping the meaning of Ain't My Day to be a good thing. We wrote the whole song and then realized that it sounded too ordinary. So we rewrote it and the let the story unfold as we went along.

Lyrics:

                                                  


Ain’t My Day
Dan O’Rourke (BMI) /John Cirillo (ASCAP)

I was riding cross the desert 
Taking shelter from sun
Stumbled on this two bit town 
Where the law lived by the gun
I’d a sold my soul for whiskey
Pushing through those saloon doors
Into a room full of desperadoes
Wanting to settle a score

Before I even knew it 
That powder keg was lit
Bullets flying everywhere
I swore that this was it
When the smoke had finally cleared
I was the only one on my feet
So I took that bottle and raised a glass
To Death, the one I cheat (cuz)

Chorus:
It ain’t my day, Lord knows it ain’t my day
Well, I thought my time had to come 
But for now that moments passed
It ain’t my day, No, it ain’t my day
So I’m gonna live like tomorrow 
Just my might be last

We’re all gonna run out of road someday 
Gonna run out of luck
Gonna run out of time
When life finally calls your bluff
That gunfight did its job you know
Just to bring me down to earth 
I know there ain’t no time to waste
I measure each moment’s worth 

Bridge:
I see mountains rise before me
Got the painted sunset sky
Summer breeze upon my face
Ain’t it good to be alive
