For the ones I love (lyrics) Copyright 2006 ASCAP

Alarm rings here I go again
Wife’s precious all snuggled in
I’m so tired of getting up at 4am

I’m Like an old truck slow to start
One slipper on walking down the hall
I peak in on the kids

(Build) I only see them while they’re sleeping
or when I’m worn out and the end of the day

I don’t get up early cause I wanna see the sunrise
Working doubles trying to stay alive
while smiling at a boss that I cant stand.

I don’t fight traffic cause I like to drive
Missing little moments of the family life
Thinkin’ bout the things I’m givin’ up
I don’t do it cause I love it….I do it for the ones I love..


Sharing breakfast with a pile of bills
Lately life’s been all uphill
And I might not reach the top, but I’ll die climbin’

Cause Lacey wants to straighten her teeth
And Billy’s needing those new NIKE cleats
And they’ve both got games to play this morning…

(build) I never see them while they’re playin’
But I get the highlights at the end of the day..


I don’t get up early cause I wanna see the sunrise
Working doubles trying to stay alive
while smiling at a boss that I cant stand.

I don’t fight traffic cause I like to drive
Missing little moments of the family life
Thinkin’ bout the things I’m givin’ up
I don’t do it cause I love it….I do it for the ones I love..

Bridge – It’s not about the things I want but what I have, in a family Kodak moment, blowin’ me kisses from the dash.

(soft chorus)I don’t get up early cause I wanna see the sunrise
Working doubles trying to stay alive
while smiling at a boss that I cant stand.

I don’t fight traffic cause I like to drive
Missing little moments of the family life
Thinkin’ bout the things I’m givin’ up
I don’t do it cause I love it….I do it for the ones I love..
