Work In Progress Lyrics By Alan Jackson

    okay i forgot about the trash
    i didn’t trim the long hairs on my mustache
    i did buy you a ring i believe it was back in ‘9
    alright i admit it i forgot our anniversary
    but i did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery
    that ain’t no big thing but it’s a gold star for me

    you get tired and disgusted with me
    when i can’t be just what you want me to be
    i still love you and i try real hard
    i swear one day you’ll have a brand new car
    i even asked the lord to try to help me
    he looked down from heaven and said to tell you please
    just be patient i’m a work in progress

    i’m sorry i got mad waiting in the truck
    it seemed like hours you getting all dressed up
    just to go to shoney’s on a wednesday night
    i read that book you gave me about mars and venus
    i think it’s sinking in but i probably need to reread it
    but i’m starting to see now what you’ve been saying is right

    i know you meant well when you gave me those clogs
    but my heels sure get hot down by the muffler on my hog
    i’m sure they’re stylish but i’ll take my boots
    i try to do that healthy thing like you want me to do
    but that low fat no fat’s getting hard to chew
    now i love your cooking honey
    but sometimes i need some real food

    oh honey just be patient now
    i’m a work in progress
