Lyrics and translation
Original
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 a hell lot 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 want to 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 want to 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.
Today is one of those days,
I wish I worked in a hardware store.
