I've been working all day
For half a day's pay just wanna come home to you
I've been working long days
And these lines in my face remind me that soon I'll be gone
I love the city I love the sea but I can't help but wanna leave
Along that old county line like someone's chasing after me
I'd like to sleep enjoy a drink maybe write late into the night
In some run-down town where no one's ever heard of me
I fell asleep the Summer heat with the radio playing
My favorite song as if it knew I just needed to sing along
Sure life is short and times are tough but you can't go on giving up
Hear you me my friend you and I make our own means to an end
I've been working long days
And these lines in my face remind me to live for today
