Well you work and you slave
And you spend all day 
in your thankless job 
hen you jump in your Ford 
And you're door to door 
with the home-bound mob 
Then you pull in the drive 
and you hit the chair 
And the one that you love 
is waiting there

And, hey 
That's what it's all about
Hey, this is the life 
I couldn't live without 
It's a moment frozen there in time 
Where the reasons all begin to rhyme 
Where love's a little bigger 
And you finally start figuring out 
That's what it's all about

Well, they won't go to bed
Or do what you said or eat their food
They cry and they fuzz and you can't 
even cuss 'cause they'll say it, too 
You're tired and you're numb 
And you're stressed and you're mad 
And she smiles 
and says 'I love you, Dad'

And, hey 
That's what it's all about
Hey, this is the life 
I couldn't live without 
It's a moment frozen there in time 
Where the reasons all begin to rhyme 
Where love's a little bigger 
And you finally start figuring out 
That's what it's all about
