The Happy Homestead

“More trouble with the law, I had a week of community service. I worked in a cemetery. It sucked. Did a bunch of landscaping and grunt work in the hot sun. I had to pay $20 a day to do it, too! And while I was hating life working there I knew it would be a song. I wanted to do a work song, so I thought about that type of song and used I’ve Been Working on the Railroad as a launching point. I was so happy to be done with that **** job! I like this one a lot.” - Darren Senn
