Work the daylight hours
And earn every damn dime
Life’s not easy, but I figure it’s fair
And it’s all more than worth it
’Cause now she’s waiting there
She sings in our kitchen but can’t cook a thing
Builds our kids up and believes in their dreams
She likes tractors and my dog and long starry nights
And coming home to he
r makes everything right
The guys who I work with don’t have a clue
They party and hell-raise
Like I used to do
But life took a turn when I met her
And I can’t say I miss what came before
’Cause now she’s waiting there
She sings in our kitchen but can’t cook a thing
Builds our kids up and believes in our dreams
She likes tractors and my dog and long starry nights
And coming home to her makes everything right
When I’m tired or weary or feeling beat down
It’s her laugh that lifts me
And turns me around
I’m one lucky man
One smile from her and I’m home
’Cause now she’s waiting there
She sings in the kitchen but can’t cook a thing
Builds me up and believes in my dreams
Nothing is better than those long starry nights
And, she swears, being mine makes everything all right
