Backstory:

Lyrics by Clare Steffen & Music, Vocals & Production by John Murr.  We are currently working on adding slightly more production to the song.   The newer version with have tighter verses, and a more catchy chorus. We are considering a title change to "Some Days Will Be Long," or "Days Will Be Long."  I have sent the edits to my co-writer, and am just waiting for him to send over the revised version of the song.  I wouldn't normally submit an incomplete song to a pitch but the deadline is today and I didn't want to miss the opportunity, if I could possibly get the song submitted for consideration. Sorry.

New Verson:

Verse

Dad always told me family comes first

Words he'd say as he went off to work

He truly was the salt of the earth

Sweat pouring over his dirty shirt



Verse

He'd smile as he kissed my mom

She'd smile back, handed him his lunch

A brown bag with a line from a song

Notes of hope from the home front



Chorus

Workin' hard from when the sun comes up

Hurry home when the sun goes down

Dad was right, some days are long

Love helps me to carry on

When those days are long



Verse

We always felt that our life was good

Had what we needed more or less

Fond memories from my childhood

Looking back I feel we were blessed



Prechorus

Memories live in my heart

Mom and dad gave me a great start



Chorus

Workin' hard from when the sun comes up

Hurry home when the sun goes down

Dad was right, some days are long

Love helps me to carry on

When those days are long



Outro

Dad was right, some days are long

Love helps me to carry on

When those days are long





Older Version


Verse

Dad always told me family comes first

Words he'd say as he went off to work

When I was young felt he was cursed

Sweat pour over his dirty shirt



Verse

He'd smile as he kissed my mom

She'd smile back as he handed him his lunch

A brown bag with a line from the book of psalms

Note of love to lift him up in a crunch



Chorus

Workin' hard when the sun comes up

Till the sun goes down

Hopin' with a little luck

We'll be living on the right side of town

Workin' Hard, days are long

Days are long

Daddy always told me

Son, days will be long



Verse

We always felt that our life was good

Had what we needed more or less

Fond memories from my childhood

Looking back I feel we were blessed



Prechorus

Memories live in my heart

Mom and dad gave me a great start



Chorus

Workin' hard when the sun comes up

Till the sun goes down

Hopin' with a little luck

We'll be living on the right side of town

Workin' Hard, days are long

Days are long

Daddy always told me

Son, days will be long



Outro

Dad was right, days are long

Love helps me to carry on

When those days are long
