Work In Progress

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 '93
Alright, I admit it I forgot our anniversary
I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery
That ain't no big thing, it's 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 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

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 said to tell you please
Just be patient, I'm a work in progress

I know you meant well when you bought me those clogs
Put my heels get hot down by the muffler on my hog
I'm sure they're stylish, but I'll take my boots
And I try to do that health thing like you want me to do
That low fat, no fat's getting hard to chew
Now I love your cooking, honey
But sometimes I need some real food

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 said to tell you please
Just be patient, I'm a work in progress
Oh, honey just be patient now
I'm a work in progress

Oh, I need a major tune up
Maybe a full of body-off restoration
I told her
