Daywork Blues

 I work all day cleaning other folks homes ‘till
I’m too damm tired to clean my own
I work for what might be decent pay ‘till
The agency man takes his cut away
Sometimes I get sick of paying dues, I got the day work blues.

A bus ride home to my neighborhood,
I see my folks, they start to make me feel good
But abandoned homes where my friends once lived
Are telling me that soon something’s got to give
Got to give, got to break, got to find a way to shake these day work blues

When it’s time to take my rest
I hope I’ll say I tried my best
I’d never take more then I’d give
 And that the world’s a little better for my having lived
I had good friends stand by my side, and I somehow survived the day work blues
