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
