Late Night Sunday Drive
(words & music Markus Rill)

My heart is where my family is
I’m hardly ever home
I work five hours away
we sure need the dough

My daughter’s barely two years old
she knows to say “Daddy’s leaving for work”
just about breaks my heart each time
but I smile right through the hurt

I’m happy I’m a workin’ man
I don’t much mind the grind
I’m happy for the time I get
holding my baby tight
but I hate every single mile
of that long dark late night Sunday drive

Food and rent and baby clothes
responsibility
Jobs are few in times like these
so I guess we’re lucky

Lucky I’m a workin’ man
I don’t much mind the grind
I’m happy for the time I get
making my daughter smile
but I hate every single mile
of that long dark late night Sunday drive

I’m not a miner in a mountain
don’t work no factory line
it’s not my body that is suffering
but my babies and I, we all got hearts and souls and minds

We’re happy I’m a workin’ man
I don’t much mind the grind
I’m happy for the time I get
with my daughter and my wife
but I hate every single mile
of that long dark late night Sunday drive
