They used to make me go to church, clip on tie, starch the shirt.   I never heard the preacher's words all slouched down in that pew.   These days going to church is something I don't have to do, I get to.   I used to have to hang with dod, wash his car, and cut the grass, it took all day and I hated that. Till his heart attack   last June.   These days helping dad is something I don't have to do, I get to.   I, I get to.      {Chorus}   I get to wake up early.   I get to go to work.    I get to make an honest living to put my hands down in the dirt.   I get hear grandma complain about all her litte aches and pains.   I get to rock my baby girl to sleep, spend my weekends coaching little league.   Theres alot of things I don't have to do. I get to. Yes I do.      I used to have to say those words, you always seemed to say them first, I drempt one night you left this earth and I woke up   and reached for you.    Now I realize I don't have to say "I Love You." I get to.   Oh baby, I get to.      {Chorus}   I get to wake up early.   I get to go to work.    I get to make an honest living to put my hands down in the dirt.   I get hear grandma complain about all her litte aches and pains.   I get to rock my baby girl to sleep, spend my weekends coaching little league.   Theres alot of things I don't have to do. Oh theres alot of things I don't have to do.   I get to.    I, I get to.      I get to wake up early.   And I get to go to work.   Theres alot of things I don't have to do.   I get to.   I get rock my baby, and I get to help my dad.   Theres a lot of things I don't have to do.   I get to.
