I'll take my apron off
and call it another day
I've been workin' for eight dollars an hour
and I can't say what I've saved
It don't mean that I just stay at home
wonderin' what I'm worth
or where I went wrong and how I lost my way
Well it feels like it's been summer since well I don't know when
and I thought I'd never feel that nice cool breeze again
and I'm tired of tryin' to seem like everything's ok
There's no need to fake a good day in the rain
Well I could go east
for the winter
and maybe the snow'd feel alright
but i know that I would just keep thinking 'bout where to rest my head
and that long dark rainy road back home again
Blue skies will soon be seen just few and far between
I'll pedal down to the beach at night and make peace with the stormy seas
and you and I can both go walkin' out in the pourin' rain
Wonder how we didn't see the fallen leaves
Well I could go east
for the winter
and maybe the snow'd feel alright
but i know that I would just keep thinking 'bout where to rest my head
and that long, dark, rainy road back home again
Well money's tight and it sure ain't cheap to fill the house with heat
I lay here in the lonely quiet when everyone's asleep
And though it might be true that I spend my time thinkin' of something new
I wouldn't trade it all away for a guarantee
Well I could go east
for the winter
and maybe the snow'd feel alright
but i know that I would just keep thinking 'bout where to rest my head
oh i know that I would just keep thinking 'bout where to rest my head
and that long dark rainy road back home again
