Wouldn't Be Gone

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 9 to 5 and off on Sunday Sleep in my bed every night at home It would keep me going, but I wouldn't be gone [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Live close to work so I could walk Be with my children while they're small Stop this bus, I'm going home Well, 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Today is one of those days I wish I worked in a hardware store
