Home Fires

I'm up and dressed at 6AM with two young mouths to feed

I drop them at the sitter's house, then it's off to the factory

And late tonight I'll watch the news like so many nights before

For Jenny's o'er the ocean fighting the Desert War

And it's long hard days and endless nights

Awake in bed alone

But I'll keep the home fires burning bright

Till Jenny marches home

Times were hard and jobs were few with layoffs on the way

And Uncle Sam, he came to town with local work and pay
