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
