Wouldn't Be Gone

Today is one of those days

I wish I worked in a hardware store

Think I could be okay not playing music on the road, no more

I'd be making keys instead of C chords

Selling paint and two-by-four boards

I wouldn't have to live these restless songs

I could start my week on Monday

Nine-to-five and off on Sunday

Sleep in my bed every night at home

It would keep me going, but I wouldn't be gone

Today is one of those days

I wish I worked in a hardware store

Well, I already know a thing or two about hardwood floors

I could sell the hell out of plumbing

Forget these roads I'm running

I've been guitar strumming way too long

I could be your friendly hardware man

The one that quit this traveling band

For the simple life back home

It would keep me going, but I wouldn't be gone

Live close to work so I could walk

Be with my children while they're small

Stop this bus, I'm going home

I wanna sit out on my porch

Drink a beer and thank the Lord

And hear the bluebirds sing a song

It would keep me going, but I wouldn't be gone

I wanna sit out on my porch

Drink a beer and thank the Lord

Hear the bluebirds sing a song

It would keep me going, but I wouldn't be gone

Today is one of those days

I wish I worked in a hardware store
