That's Why

My alarm goes off early, cant afford to be late
If I dont get a move on then
I wont get paid
So I throw back those covers and get my butt up outta bed
Its still dark when
Im leavin so
I let my lady sleep
I know her and them babies are a countin on me
To put food on the table, keep this roof over our head
Yeah , and thats why
I get crackin in the mornin
Fight all that traffic out on
I-40Punch a clock at a job for a boss that
I dont like
Yeah, thats why
I keep swinging that hammer
Fight for each step that
I take on that ladder
Break my back for a slice of that
American pie
Yeah, thats why
Well, I wear a hard hat, steel toed boots and leather gloves
And my office is the front seat of a four door truck
Decorated with crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash
And our Junior
