Thats Why

D A D A

   D
My alarm goes off early, Can't 
afford to be late.
      Bm
If I don't get a move on then i 
won't get paid.
      C                           
So i throw back those covers and 
G            D
get my butt out of bed.
           D
Its still dark when im leavin' so i 
let my lady sleep.
       Bm
I know her and them babies are 
countin on me
       C                     G    
To put food on the table and keep 
                 A
this roof over our head.


Chorus
      D
Yeah, that's why i get crackin' in 
the mornin'
 A
Fight all that traffic on I-40
        G           D         Em 
Punch a clock at a job for a boss
      D        G   A
 that i don't like
     D
Yeah that's why i keep swingin' that
 hammer
 A
Fight for each step i take on that 
ladder
G        D           Em          
Break my back for a slice of that
  D      G     A
 American pie
      D            A
Yeah, that's why.

Well, I wear a hard hat, steel-toed 
boots, and leather gloves
        Bm
And my office is the front seat of a
 four-door truck
    C                       G     
Decorated with crayon drawn 
                    D
pictures all taped to the dash
          D
And our junior pro football starts 
here in July
             Bm
There'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, 
and new cleats to buy
       C                        
And my wifes had her eye on some 
  G                      A
