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.
      C                           G            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.

To put food on the table and keep this roof over our head.
Chorus

Fight all that traffic on I-40
        G           D         Em       D        G   A
Punch a clock at a job for a boss that i don't like

 A
Fight for each step i take on that ladder
G        D           Em            D      G     A
Break my back for a slice of that American pie
      D            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
    C                       G                         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
       C                          G                      A
And my wifes had her eye on some earrings i'd sure like her to have

 A
Fight for each step i take on that ladder
G        D           Em             D     G     A
Break my back for a slice of that American pie

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