Alan Jackson – Work In Progress Lyrics  Share

From Alan Jackson's album: Drive

(Alan Jackson)

Okay, I forgot about the trash,
I didn^,t trim the long hairs on my moustache.
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 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, said to tell you please;
Just be patient, I^,m a work in progress.

I^,m sorry I got mad, waitin^, in the truck;
It seemed like hours, you gettin^, 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 sinkin^, in but I probably need to re read it,
But I^,m starting to see now, what you 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.

Instrumental Break.

I know you meant well when you bought gave me those clogs,
But my heels 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 health thing like you want me to do,
That low-fat, no fat^,s gettin^, hard to chew.
Now, I love your cookin^,, 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, body-off, restoration.
