Blue County - I Get To lyrics

rate me

They used to make me go to church

clip-on tie, starchy shirt

I never heard the preachers words

all scrouched down in that pew

these days goin' to church

is somethin' I don't have to do

I get to

I used to have to hang with dad

wash his car and cut the grass

it took all day and I hated that

till his heart attack last June

these days helpin' dad I don't have to do

I get to

I get to

I get to wake up early

I get to go to work

I get to make an honest living

put my hands down in the dirt

I get to hear grandma complain about all her

little aches and pain

I get to rock my baby girl to sleep

spend my weekends coaching little league

there's a lot of things I don't have to do

I get to

I used to have to say those words

you always seemed to say em first

but I dreamt one night you'd left this earth

and I woke up and reached for you

now I realized I don't have to say I love you

I get to

oh baby, I get to

I get to wake up early

and I get to go to work

I get to make an honest living

and put my hands down in the dirt

I get to hear grandma complain

about all her little aches and pain

I get to rock my baby girl to sleep

spend my weekends coaching little league

there's a lot of things I don't have to do

oh there's a lot of things I don't have to do

I get to

I get to

I get to wake up early

and I get to go to work

there's a lot of things I don't have to do

I get to

I get to rock my baby

and I get to help my dad

there's a lot of things I don't have to do

I get to
