Lyrics
Keepin' Up With You
© 2009 Eric Henderson
Intro
Verse
I'm just gettin' out of bed
Got my feet on the flo'
You're already in the car
Saying, "go go go!"
We got money to make
And kids to get to school
Got yer coffee in one hand
Cell in the other
Talkin' on the phone
Makin' plans with your mother
Bout next weekend
What the family's gonna do
Chorus
Now I'm a hard hittin man
With a definite plan
About where I was and
Where I am
And all the things that
I still need to do
It ain't easy keeping up
With you
(but it's a hella lot of fun)
Verse
Puttin on my tennis shoes
Chasin 'way the morning blues
Throwin coffee down my throat
Wishin I was on the boat
Junior in the back
Cryin' boo hoo
Barely miss the paper boy
Backin out the drive way
You didn't even see him
Cause you was looking my way
Yellin' at me cause you broke
The heel of your shoe
Chorus
Now I'm a hard hittin man
With a definite plan
About where I was and
Where I am
And all the things that
I still need to do
It ain't easy keeping up
With you
(but it's a hella lot of fun)
Bridge
Don't get concerned darlin'
This is something I can do
If I seem a little bit scatter brained
Don't think you're gonna have to change the rules of the game
Cause I'm just lovin it baby
Trying to keep up with you
Verse
Now I'm slicing up the hot dogs
Heating up the fist sticks
Laughing at the kid
With the Cheerio lipstick
Sayin, "Boy,
Get back into your chair"
Well this life gets crazy
But you make it so easy
'Cause you always find the time
In your schedule to tease me with that
"Later on in the bedroom" stare
Chorus
Now I'm a hard hittin man
With a definite plan
About where I was and
Where I am
And all the things that
I still need to do
It ain't easy , ain't easy
keepin up, keepin up
It ain't easy keepin up
With you
(but it's a hella lot of fun)
