Got Nothing To Prove Lyrics

"I've been trying to quit my foolish ways since the birth of my daughters

My wife keeps telling me to grow up too

I'm tired of going down the same path as my father

And days of overtime are breaking me in two

So when I'm off work I enjoy my rest kick back and have a few

Don't tell me wasting days on devil's water

Isn't a cure for the working man's blues

I know these wasted days eat up my dollars

But they fire up my engine too

Hey I've got nothing to prove

'8 days a week' feels about alright

And '25 hours of daylight' sure would too

For hammering up a house and pleasing my wife

Taking out the trash and fixing a light

All before I take my kids to school

If I got paid for each new gray hair

By now I'd be a millionaire

Don't tell me wasting days on devil's water

Isn't a cure for the working man's blues

I know these wasted days eat up my dollars

But they fire up my engine too

Hey I've got nothing to prove"
