Family

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Every morning he wakes up early, 
Makes her breakfast and a coffee, 
Gives her a kiss and goes to work, 
Then at night he comes home to her, 
He Reads the paper and has a beer, 
She'll ask him how was your day dear,
He says you know it was fine, 
But she knows to well that's a lie,
[Build]
[Chorus]
For years he's done the same job, 
He knows that the time has come, 
When he will soon have to retire,
Relax and enjoy a different life, 
The wife and him are happy, 
To spend more time with family, 
[Verse 2] 
They put the children through school, 
Broken hearts and breaking the rules, 
Memories are what they cherish, 
As he helps her with the dishes, 
Next week they will be celebrating, 
Their youngest daughter's wedding, 
They'll soon have a empty home, 
As they watch their favourite show,
[Build]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
Now there's more time for his hobbies,
Giving those grandkids lots of lollies
Watching them run around the yard, 
They'll help him to wash the car, 
The garden is all that keeps him busy,
Cause life after work is so easy 
She wonders if he will miss work, 
As he plants more flowers in the dirt, 
[Chorus]
[Outro]
The wife and him are happy 
To spend time with the family, 
[Fade]
