Lyrics

THE REASON

V1
Monday morning 5am caffeine in a cup
Moving quiet as I can don't want to wake them up
I'm back here on Friday, man, it can't come fast enough
Ain't for love of money I'm moving at this pace
For a Corvette, a Harley, a boat out on the lake
Clear on my priorities it's for my family's sake

Ch1
The reason I do it, why I'm up with the sun
Why I put myself through it, why my job's never done
Yeah, they're the reason I'm drinking more Coke and less Bud
The reason I don't smoke and always buckle up
The reason I believe in God and I believe in love
Yeah, they're the reason
The reason

V2
Jet Blue to Budget Rent-A-Car, I?m always on the run
Fast-food, Nicorette, and wash it down with Tums
Laughing at the boss?s jokes even though they're dumb
Motel, cell phone, call home, they're doin fine
Tell my wife "I miss them'' through the static on the line
Wishing I was with them but we need the overtime

Ch 2 -repeat

Bridge
I pull into the driveway, drop my bags by the door
The kids jump into my arms and we all fall to the floor
I see my wife and I love her more
Yeah, they're who I do it for

Ch3 (repeat Ch1 inverted)
The reason I'm drinking more Coke and less Bud
The reason I don't smoke and always buckle up
The reason I believe in God and I believe in love
They?re the reason I do it. Why I'm up with the sun
Why I put myself through it. Why my job's never done
Yeah, they're the reason
The reason

Outro/Fade
I?m flying down the highway making deals and burning rubber
Got the steering wheel in one hand and my cell phone in the other
There's a trooper on my tail, spinning lights in my mirror
All my buddies say I'm MIA and never can be found
At tailgates, poker games, boys nights on the town
Guess I'm messing up their heads ever since I settled down
Yeah, I got my reasons?
