Felt like taking an original lyric of mine in a different direction.

Lyrics

And For Two Days
[2024/05/13]

[Verse]
It's six o'clock on a Friday, the workload was too much.
I'm heading home for the weekend, it's been five days out of touch.
Two whole days to relax and play. Along with other things to do.
Two whole days to play my way where even if it rains, the sky is blue.
[Chorus]
And for two days, I'm a part-time farmer. Working my piece of land.
And for two days, I'm a hiker, a good old travelling man.
And for two days, I might be slacking, watching Captain Kirk.
Then Monday rolls around, and God dam I stumble back to work.
[Bridge]
Monday finds me in a rut, the beginning of the week.
Tuesday, I'm not much better. What I do is not unique.
Wednesday's in the middle, not a good day, nor not a bad one.
Thursday drags on much too slowly. Then Friday's back and I am glad. 
[Verse]
It's six o'clock on a Friday again, the workload was too much.
I'm heading home for the weekend, it's been five days out of touch.
Two whole days to relax and play. Along with other things to do.
Two whole days to play my way where even if it rains, the sky is blue.
[Outro]
And for two days I'm a goaltender or a referee.
And for two days I'm a groundskeeper cleaning up debris.
And for two days I'm a husband, a father and a friend.
And for two days I'm a teacher, that job never ends.
And for two days I'm [Fade Out]
