The Isaacs Half a Day Away song lyrics

You dropped me off for my first day of school.

Six yrs old and had to learn new rules.

I didn't know what I was walking into,

I turned around and waved goodbye to you.

When you left I remember you, told me when the lunch bell rings at noon;

And I'm through with twinky number two,

I'd be half a day away from you.

Half a day away from you,

mum you always know what to do.

Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue,

half a day away from you.

INSTRUMENTAL

Twenty years and half a million miles,

lotta tears and bout as many smiles.

Gettin by with life the way I do, gettin paid to sing and play for you.

I bought a twinky at an old truck stop.

Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped.

I said, "Hey mumma, when the call went through,

I'm only half a day from you.

Half a day away from you.

Mumma's always know what to do.

Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue,

half a day away from you.

Half a day away from you.
