I woke up an hour early, put on my runnin' shoesOh man, it's been a while, a half a mile's all I could doThen I pulled a couple weeds out of the cracksIn the sidewalk to my front doorPoured out the coffee pot, stuck it underneath the cabinetDrank a tall cool gla** of water, gonna break that caffiene habitAnd quit steppin' over all my winter clothesAnd pick em' up off the floorStop by bobby hendons, pay him back that twenty bucksIt's just a little thing, it may not seem like much
ChorusBut hey, it's a start, a speck of light in the darkA place where smilin' don't come so hard any moreMy visions growin' clearer, I see a face that's so familiarYeah, this mornin' in the mirror by the doorI caught a glance of the man I've been lookin' for
A couple weeks ago I met a nice girl at my churchShe reminded me of you, so sweet and down to earthWell I finally mustered up a little nerve, and asked her for her numberI met her at the deli on her lunch break yesterdayWe both went dutch, so I guess it's not a dateChorus
BridgeI remember when the doctor said you didn't have too longYou made me promise I'd move onBut it's puttin' my faith to the test, everyday I do my bestGirl, I know they're only baby steps
