[Verse 1] Woke up early, scratching my head, Something felt wrong as I rolled out of bed. Coffee on, shower running hot, One hour to work, better move on the spot. [Verse 2] Feed the babies, get the kids dressed right, My wife called out, “Come on, you old fool, don’t waste the morning light.” Kissed those babies, grabbed my coat, She said, “Don’t be late—this season’s busy, you know.” [Chorus] I don’t pretend I’ve got it all together, I just keep rolling through whatever weather. Keys in my hand, then I’m back inside, One more holler from my girl as I run and hide. I’m doing my best, though the plans may unfurl— That’s the way it goes in my little world. [Verse 3] Down the country road, rain on the glass, Wondering if a heavy load was waiting when I got there at last. Pulled in the lot, my boss shook his head, “Son, you’re off today—go home instead! You didn’t need to take the kids to school, Now turn that truck around, you crazy old fool.” [Bridge] So I headed back with a sheepish grin, Thinking how the day might yet begin. Breakfast at home, just me and my girl, A quiet little pocket in this busy world. [Final Chorus] I don’t pretend I’ve got it all together, I just keep rolling through whatever weather. Next time I’ll check before I leave town, Before I wake the whole house and drive back around. I’m doing my best, though the plans may unfurl— And I’ve got the day with my favorite girl. [Outro] Next time I’ll check that schedule first, Before my coffee and my morning thirst.
