about

Recorded at a gig at Bar Petak (Bar Friday) in Sofia, Bulgaria.

lyrics

(Verse 1)
End of my week
fast as I can man I ran for the tram
on my tired feet.
mmmhmmm

Found a prime seat
but I chose to stand for the family
who hopped on beside me.
mmmhmmm

Good folks we spoke 'bout life
'bout the bills and what brings them delight
and how they feed a family of five.

The mother she sighed
said we must survive
reality's the sharpest of all knives
but it cuts on both sides.

(Chorus)
And then she said:
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt

I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt

(Verse 2)
Home to my Queen
walkin' hand in hand is the plan
over land air and high seas
mmmhmmm

She inspires me
and I like the man that I am
when her love's here to guide me
mmmhmmm

We vibe we compromise
Especially when the conflicts rise
'cuz who can say that love is for life?

She been by my side
keep me on my grind
and if they cut the power off or they try..
I'd love her in the candle light!

(Chorus)
I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
mmmhmmm

I'm off work
oh let me ease me mind, my back and my feet hurt
mmmhmmm
