Wouldn't Be Gone Paroles

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 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
