Lyrics
I woke up this morning stumbled out of bed a million things to do today running through my head got to feed my dog get dressed for work apologize to my wife for saying that dirty word and i'll take my kids for a ice cream cone talk to daddy on the telephone check the grocery list give my wife a kiss and tuck my children in tonight they come first on my list
chorus
and lord you've been good to me blessed me with a family and it brings tears to my eyes and through the rocky years you're the one who calmed my fears and you gave me the strength to try and i'll teach my children not to swear and curse and to always put the Lord and the family first.
verse 2
the kids left for college just the other day im a little bit older now and im turning grey but i'll feed my dog leave my wife a note i'm gonna take my daddy fishing on that new bass boat and we'll fish the lake till the sun goes down load up the boat head back to town grab some steaks throw them on the grill i've been blessed beyond all measure and i know your love is real
chorus 2
and you've been good to me blessed me with a family and it brings tears to my eyes and through the rocky years you're the one who calmed my fears and you gave me the strength to try dad read me the good book that he lived by verse for verse and he always put the lord and the family first
