From the recording Songs of Love, Pain, & Sweet Mary Jane
Lyrics
These lines, on my face, they sure enough show where I've been.
rough & worn, Like the callouses on my hands.
Your drinkin cherry crown out on the baby deck.
Smilin as the sun goes down, shinin like I'll never forget.
Your makin me nervous like a fast spinnin merry go round; I don't wanna fall off of....cause your so easy to love.
(Chorus)
Now it's workin overtime to get enough just to pay the bills.
Keepin it real on Sunday with an after church home cooked meal.
Respecting mamma, if she ain't happy lord no one is.
Thanking Jesus for all the blessings that he instills.
The sacrifice is rough, but we can't get enough, a woman like mine is so easy to love.
They call me daddy, & hug my neck, lord I'm feelin just like Abraham.
Four at home, & three away, hell I'm holdin on to weekends like yesterday.
I'm breakin myself down to be a father they can be proud of.
Children like mine are so easy to love.
(Chorus)
Now it's, workin overtime to get enough just to pay the bills.
Keepin it real on Sunday with an after church home cooked meal.
Respecting mamma, keepin her happy's better for our health.
Thanking Jesus for all the blessings that he instills.
The sacrifice is rough, we can't get enough, a family like mine is so easy to love.
