I Get To Songtext
von The Oak Ridge Boys

They used to make me go to church
Clip-on tie, starched shirt
I never heard the preacher′s words
Slouched down in that pew
These days going to church is something I don't have to do
I get to

I used to have to hang with Dad
Wash his car and cut the grass
It took all day and I hated that
Until his heart attack last June
These days helping Dad is something I don′t have to do
I get to, I get to


I get to wake up early
I get to go to work
I get to make an honest living
Put my hands down in the dirt
I get to hear Grandma complain
About all her little aches and pains
I get to rock my baby girl to sleep
Spend my weekends coaching Little League
There's a lot of things I don't have to do
I get to

I used to have to say those words
You always seemed to say them first
I dreamt one night you′d left this earth
I woke up and reached for you
Now I realize I don′t have to say I love you
I get to, I get to

I get to wake up early
I get to go to work
I get to make an honest living
Put my hands down in the dirt
I get to hear Grandma complain
About all her little aches and pains
I get to rock my baby girl to sleep
Spend my weekends coaching Little League
There's a lot of things I don′t have to do
There's a lot of things I don′t have to do
I get to, I get to
