lyrics

You said "I think I lost a baby,
The stress from work keeps coming home with me"
Still newlywed, but clocking out a grouchy wife
This job hasn't been good
For your marriage or your life
I've got to get my two cents in,
I hat to see sadness, especially among friends
You could quit this job
and work with your sister at the coffee shop

You were the first to say that someday, someday
We'll sit around and talk about happier things
I won't let you forget that

I'll be moving soon, starting a new life
But first tearing the old up by the roots
I've got an awful lot to leave
It's so easy to get by here but this town
Is putting me to sleep
The road ahead looks awfully hard,
But if I get discouraged I look a little farther
To say five years from now
I'm back to visit my home town

I'll stop by your place
and we'll sit in the kitchen and talk about happier days
That's why I've got to leave

'Cause someday we'll sit around and talk about
Happier things, happier things
You'll have a better job
A job that's got more to it than money
And I'll have found my city
But I'll come back as often as I can
For the wonderful someday that we have planned
