As recorded by Jake Owen (2025 release) [Intro] A D A D A D A D [Verse 1]
  A                   D
Today is one of those days

  A                                D A D
I wish I worked in a hardware store

      A              D                              A
Think I could be okay not playing music on the road no more

      E
I’d be making keys instead of C chords

D
Selling paint and two-by-four boards

A                                    E
Wouldn’t have to live these restless songs

E
I could start my week on Monday

D
Nine to five and off on Sunday

A                                  E
Sleep in my bed every night at home

D                                      A     D A
It would keep me going but I wouldn’t be gone
[Verse 2]
A
Today is one of those days

D                        A
I wish I worked in a hardware store

                    D                         A
Well, I already know a thing or two about hardwood floors

E                                   D
I could sell the hell out of plumbing

D
Forget these roads I’m running

A                                  E
I’ve been guitar strumming way too long

                                  D
I could be your friendly hardware man

                                 A
The one that quit this traveling band

                         E
For the simple life back home

D                                      A     D A
It would keep me going but I wouldn’t be gone
[Chorus]
E                             D
Live close to work so I could walk

                                  A
Be with my children while they’re small

                         E
Stop this bus, I’m going home

                      D
I wanna sit out on my porch

                           A
Drink a beer and thank the Lord

                              E
And hear the bluebirds sing a song

D                                      A
It would keep me going but I wouldn’t be gone
[Instrumental Break] E D A E D A E [Chorus]
E                     D
I wanna sit out on my porch

                           A
Drink a beer and thank the Lord

                              E
And hear the bluebirds sing a song

D                                      A     D A
It would keep me going but I wouldn’t be gone
[Outro]

Today is one of those days

D                                   A
