lyrics

I don't like waking up at 5am
I don't like riding the train again and again
I don't like this 9 to 5 that I'm in

Bills — they never stop coming in
Sometimes I want to be a kid again
But life don’t work that way
I wish it did

Don’t always like this adulting thing
Why can’t somebody just pay me to sing?
But every don’t has a bigger do
So I’ll keep my eyes on these things

I want to play with my kids
Laugh with my wife
Take my paid for car
Out for a drive
And when I think of all the things I have to do
I tell myself I don’t have to — I get to
I get to

Don’t want you thinking all I do is complain
I’m not like that — maybe I should explain
I’m thankful for this life the good Lord gave me

But if I had the chance to do it again
I’d focus on the stuff that makes my heart sing
The ones I love -- not the things I want
All the joy this good life brings me

I want to play with my kids
Laugh with my wife
Take my paid for car
Out for a drive
And when I think of all the things I have to do
I tell myself I don’t have to — I get to
I get to
Oh, I get to
I get to

I get to wake up every day, hug and kiss my wife
Throw the Lord big props — for giving me life
I get to tuck my kids in bed every single night
I get to get to get to

I want to play with my kids
Laugh with my wife
Take my paid for car
Go for a drive
And when I think of all the things I have to do
I tell myself I don’t have to — I get to
I get to
Oh, I get to
I get to
