Friday Market Blues

Monday morning, coffee's black and bitter cold Heard the pre-market whispers, a story gettin' old The opening bell rang out like a funeral chime Watched my favorite tech stock commit a-another crime She was my four-star darling, my sure-thing guarantee Then she took all my money and left a red screen for me Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the NASDAQ takes away My poor heart's a ticker tape at the closing bell each day I got the Friday Market Blues, deep down in my soul

Another week of climbin' outta some new financial hole These green-lit miracles, they never seem to last Just a sweet, sweet lie before the market's gonna crash Wednesday felt different, heard a rumor on the wire The Fed said somethin' soothing, set my hopes on fire A little rally started, a candle burnin' bright Thought maybe, just maybe, this time I'd get it right Then a man in a tie on the television news Said the word 'inflation', and lit the bearish fuse

Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the NASDAQ takes away My poor heart's a ticker tape at the closing bell each day I got the Friday Market Blues, deep down in my soul Another week of climbin' outta some new financial hole These green-lit miracles, they never seem to last Just a sweet, sweet lie before the market's gonna crash Thirty years I've ridden this digital sea I've seen bulls run wild and bears climb up a tree Should've learned my lesson, should've cashed my chips and gone

But the hope of one more good day keeps me hangin' on It ain't about the money, not like it was before It's the thrill of the gamble that keeps me comin' back for more Oh, the Dow Jones gives and the NASDAQ takes away My poor heart's a ticker tape at the closing bell each day I got the Friday Market Blues, deep down in my soul Another week of climbin' outta some new financial hole These green-lit miracles, they never seem to last Just a sweet, sweet lie before the market's gonna crash
