My Life

6:00 a.m., my feet hit the floor
I put the coffee on, then I check the scores
Grab my keys and kiss her goodbye
Now I'm off to work, and I'm out the door

Another day, another dime
So goes my life, it's the cost of getting by
So it goes
Welcome to my life

8:00 a.m., the kids are cryin'
She picks them up just to dry their eyes
One stays at home and one's off to school
So little time and so much to do

Now, I'm on break, so I call home
Just to hear her voice and to know she's not alone
And so it goes
Welcome to my life

Well, day to day, it seems the same from the outside
But now I see the changes from within
I took a closer look and I realized
After all this time
It was right there hiding from me

Now, I'm at home, she's sittin' on my lap
We're talkin' 'bout the day we've had
I got all my girls, they're gathered 'round
Then the baby says, "I love you, Dad"
So it goes
Welcome to my life
