my nose pressed to the grindstone
Got my shoulder to the wall
Every day is such a busy day
Everyone makes such demands
Everything that I'd like to do
Second place to someone else's
You're at home when I'm at work
When I get there we need our rest
That's why when we get away
Those are the days that I love best
Those are the days that I love best
Someday I'm gonna lay me down
On my back where the grass is so green
Like I did when I was thirteen
Fix my eyes above the blue
Fix my gaze above the sky
And I will thank the Lord for you
And those friendships that never
Billy, you're a real hard worker
You stand so busy, no time for bed
Frank is just a little bit tired
I'd rather sit for his supper instead
All the ladies smile and knowing smile,
it was potential that they see
Long ago three fresh -faced college guys,
when it wasn't just the grass
And all you children laugh
Will you take it from a boy who knows
Doesn't get much better than this
Someday I'm gonna lay thee down
When the grass is so green
Like I did when I was thirteen
Fix my eyes above the blue
I'll fix my gaze above the sky
Gonna thank the Lord for you
And those friendships that never die
