I'll take my apron off
and call it another dayI've been workin' for eight dollars an hour
and I can't say what I've savedIt don't mean that I just stay at home
wonderin' what I'm worth
or where I went wrong and how I lost my wayWell 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 rainWell 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 againBlue 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 leavesWell 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 againWell 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 guaranteeWell 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 headand that long dark rainy road back home again
