long hard day

the refrigerator hums

a song I've always known

a melody

a symphony

of all the sounds of home

the ticking of the clock

and the hissing of the gas

I am so damn thankful

to be at home at last

the living room is vacuumed

the dishes are all done

and now it's time to get some rest

before the setting sun

falls into the nighttime

let's turn the TV off

all this noise and clatter

I believe I've had enough

          and it's the end of a long hard day

          it's the end of a long hard day

no more arguments

no cursing me out

all the stupid things

my day job is about

being here at home

is exactly what I need

time to rest my tired bones

time to smoke some weed

          and it's the end of a long hard day

          it's the end of a long hard day

let me stay forever

is the shelter of my bed

Lord, give me the strength 

to face the day ahead

I wake up every morning

the future is unknown

everything depends on

arriving safely home

          and it's the end of a long hard day

          it's the end of a long hard day
