Yesterday's News Just Hit Home Today

by Johnny Paycheck

Lyrics
The subject, of this next song
Well, I guess, it's been around forever
It deals with someone, that's so much, in love
He's blind, to the truth
I think Merle wrote a classic line, in this one
Being a fool, is one thing
But not knowing you're a fool, is another thing

Today a friend, got through, to me
I've been blind, I couldn't see
'Cause my love, was always standing, in the way
Well, I've been crazy
I've been blown
My good friends, they knew, all along
Yesterdays news, just hit home today

Well, I've tried
Lord, and I've tried, to stay on top of things
Never dreaming, such a storm, was on it's way
When you owned up, to all those lies
I was the only one there, that was surprised
Yesterdays news, just hit home today

Well, I guess the shock of learning, that you've been a fool
Allows paranoia and insecurities, to creep in
And I'll tell you, it undermined our love, honey
I thought, would never end
You know, being a fool, is one thing
But not knowing you're a fool, is another thing
Yesterdays news, just hit home today

Well, I've tried and I've tried, to stay on top of things
Never dreaming, such a storm, was on it's way
When you owned up, to all those lies
Honey, I was the only fool there, that was surprised
Yesterdays news, just hit home today
