That's Why chords by Craig Morgan

A

   D
My alarm goes off early, Can't afford to be late.
      Bm
If I don't get a move on then i won't get paid.
      D
So i throw back those covers and get my butt out of bed.
           D
Its still dark when im leavin' so i let my lady sleep.
       Bm
I know her and them babies are countin on me
       A
To put food on the table and keep this roof over our head.

Chorus
      D
Yeah, that's why i get crackin' in the mornin'
 A
Fight all that traffic on I-40
        A
Punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like
     D
Yeah that's why i keep swingin' that hammer
 A
Fight for each step i take on that ladder
A
Break my back for a slice of that American pie
      A
Yeah, that's why.


         D
Well, I wear a hard hat, steel-toed boots, and leather gloves
        Bm
And my office is the front seat of a four-door truck
    D
Decorated with crayon drawn pictures all taped to the dash
          D
And our junior pro football starts here in July
             Bm
There'll be shoulder pads, jerseys, and new cleats to buy
       A
And my wifes had her eye on some earrings i'd sure like her to have

Yeah i would..

Punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like

They want cell phones, laptops, ballet shoes, and dresses
A
Xbox, Ipods and rock'n'roll drum lessons


     D
But, that's why i get crackin' in the mornin'
 A
Fight all that traffic on I-40
        A
Punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like
        D
Yeah that's why i keep swingin' this hammer
 A
Fight for each step i take on this ladder
 A
Break my back for a slice of that American pie
       A
