Lately I've seen every sunrise
|
Driving down the Interstate
|
On my way to be the first one
|
Through the factory gate
|
It didn't used to be like this
|
The difference is night and day
|
|
I used to count the minutes
|
That it was quittin' time
|
I couldn't wait to punch that card
|
And leave this place behind
|
But now when the whistle blows
|
Oh, the difference is night and day
|
|
'Cause it means I'll have to head on home
|
And spend another night alone
|
Counting memories that you left behind
|
And here in the kitchen drawer that
|
Shirt of mine you always wore
|
Something always takes me back in time
|
|
Weekends I could fish
|
Or catch a ball game with the guys
|
Anything to get me out
|
Of this house for awhile
|
But the minute I go home
|
Home, the difference is night and day
|
|
As long as I don't have to see
|
All those things reminding me
|
I can tell myself I'm moving on
|
But as soon as I walk through that door
|
I know that I'll find something more
|
It shows me just how far I've really gone
|
|
Maybe I'll get lucky and get some sleep tonight
|
Either way I'm outta here as soon as it gets light
|
Outside these four walls
|
The difference is night and day
|
No, it didn't used to be like this
|
The difference is night and day
|
