January Floor Lyrics by John Gorka

After Yesterday

1998

[Verse 1]
Don't be petty
Don’t be trite
I'm feeling pretty good now
I'm doing alright
Memories are wrong
They never did play fair
If it’s all in the past
Why doesn't it stay there?
[Verse 2]
I got older
I just didn't get wise
Bred for the occasion
But I didn't rise
I never gave up though
Like those other guys
I guess I never did learn
How to compromise
[Chorus]
I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee
I need to learn to stay in good company
Now there's no one else behind this door
No warm feet on this January floor
[Verse 3]
Never give up, never give in
Unpopular decisions keep you lonely
Keep you thin
Friends turn to strangers
And strangers friends
But life can be so sweet
Till the bitter end
[Chorus]
I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee
I need to learn to stay in good company
Now there's no one else behind this door
No warm feet on this January floor
