I'm Just Trying To Get Home

16 hours on a shutdown
45 minutes driving out of town
You wouldn't believe the traffic right now
Go ahead and eat on your own
I'm just trying to get home

Well truth be told it's better than it was
When I got less hours and the kids were young
Breaking my wrists in the valve shop
Burning a hole through the wall clock
4 hours to go
I'm just trying to get home

No one tells you
You're chasing something that you won't ever get to
And doing everything that you're supposed to
Doesn't mean you'll end up getting what you're owed
I ain't one to sit and bitch and moan
I'm just trying to get home

When I get in, everybody's in bed
I lock the slide door I haven't fixed yet
I can probably get to it on the weekend
I hang up my coat
Eat at the counter alone
I'm just trying to get home

No one tells you
You're chasing something that you won't ever get to
And doing everything that you're supposed to
Doesn't mean you'll end up getting what you're owed
But I ain't one to sit and bitch and moan
I'm just trying to get home

I'm just trying to get home

No one tells you
You're chasing something that you won't ever get to
And doing everything that you're supposed to
Doesn't mean you'll end up getting what you're owed
You're just kicking the can down the road
If you make it out the other side, your kids are grown
I'm just trying to get home

I'm just trying to get home

I'm just trying to get home

I'm just trying to get home
