Story Behind The Song
At the time I was struggling with the decisions I had to make everyday between raising my daughter, my job, ex-girlfriend, the house, money...you name it...and it gets to be a lot sometimes. So I wrote this idea down and did a little research on what I was feeling... I had this piece of music that was already done but had no lyrics. I evetually sat down with my notes and my guitar and wrote the song.
Song Description
I was having trouble getting to sleep at night because I was worrying so much about everything that went on during the day. At the time I was juggling things like an octopus with kid gloves on.

Lyrics
END OF THE DAY
INTRO: |2x| (2nd X Oohs & Aahs)
STARING UP AT THE CEILING, END OF A VERY LONG DAY
GOT TO THINKIN' 'BOUT EVERYTHING, I HAD TO DO, AND I WANT TO SAY
WONDERIN' IF I GOT IT ALL, OR WAS THERE SOMETHING I MISSED
FIRST ONE TO THE CURTAIN CALL, TO THE LAST THING ON MY LIST
CHORUS: SOMETIMES AT THE END OF THE DAY
I LIKE TO THINK THERE HAS TO BE AN EASIER WAY
I COULDA DONE THINGS DIFFERENT, NOW I'LL JUST WAIT & SEE
I STILL CAN'T SEE THE WOOD THRU THE TREES, I SAY
IT'S NOT EASY, EVEN AT THE END OF THE DAY
INTRO: (Oohs)
PUSHING HARD,ALMOST ALL MY LIFE, SOMETIMES YOU TAKE A CHANCE
IT'S HARD, JUST LOOKIN' BACK, YOU WIN OR LOSE AT ROMANCE
CHORUS:
SOLO: (INTRO) ½ keys ½ guitar
CHORUS: (REPEAT) TAG: 2x
OUTRO: |4x| oohs - aahs - tag vocals, tag instruments
