[Verse 1]
Up before the daylight
Coffee in your old work cup
Kiss me in the kitchen
Say
“I wish I could stay and talk”
Boots by the back door
Keys jingling in your hand
You head out in the cool air
Chasing down our everyday plans
[Chorus]
You work all day
Then you love all night
Come home tired
Still you hold me tight
Pay these bills
Then you fold my clothes
Rub my back when the day runs cold
You’re a good man
Baby
That’s the truth
You give this heart a place to move
Early in the morn’ till the stars shine through
Every little thing says
“I love you”
[Verse 2]
You pull in round supper
Smell of dust and gasoline
But you’re washing up the dishes
Like you ain’t ever been on your feet
You’re fixing what is broken
Taking trash out to the street
Then you slide next to me on the sofa
Like I’m the only thing you need (oh I see)
[Chorus]
You work all day
Then you love all night
Come home tired
Still you hold me tight
Pay these bills
Then you fold my clothes
Rub my back when the day runs cold
You’re a good man
Baby
That’s the truth
You give this heart a place to move
Early in the morn’ till the stars shine through
Every little thing says
“I love you”
[Bridge]
Some girls dream of diamonds
I just wanted a steady hand
You showed up with a ring and a toolbox
And turned this house into our land
When I lay my head down
And you turn out the light
I thank God for a working man
Who still saves his best for me at night (oh, for me)
[Chorus]
You work all day
Then you love all night
Come home tired
Still you hold me tight
Pay these bills
Then you fold my clothes
Rub my back when the day runs cold
You’re a good man
Baby
That’s the truth
You give this heart a place to move
Early in the morn’ till the stars shine through
Every little thing says
“I love you”
Yeah
Every little thing says
“I love you”
