lyrics

I used to believe that I knew things
but time can sail while you're cruising
and slowly fade out while you're tuned in
I thought I was down
I tell you who'd think, I'm looking around
and now I'm the new king
here in this town that is one less
man on the ground that can do this
running your house, with your two kids
walking the dogs that are too big
working two shifts filling the fridge
let alone clothes on a shoe string
keeping a wife that is hard work
trying not to believe that it can't work
seeing your ex and that past hurts
you made something together that's half hers

these people I live for
I'm talking day to day
they are what really matters
they are my family

when we get together I show em a feast
no bone to pick just a moment of peace
no one alone, no enemies, an oasis
only thing you need to share is a hope and a dream
that's where our base is
when it's come to my own family
no need to say it they know what I mean
taking a step, catching a plane
planting your feet and sowing a seed
leaving behind the people you know
people you love and people you don't
packing your things and leaving alone
paying respects to go overseas
all I'm saying is people can live and end up
in a place you never would think
could happen to you and then everything clicks
before thinking you would know better than this
accepting your vision will always be flawed
heaven is there, wherever that is
I guess I'm doing fine and the kids are alright
I see them do more than I do with my life
I new giving them all is considered a crime
maybe all I can give them is time

these people I live for
I'm talking day to day
they are what really matters
they are my family
