Work In Progress

Okay I forgot about the trash I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache I didn't buy you a ring I believe it was back in '93 Alright I admit it I forgot our anniversary I didn't pick the baby this morning at the nursery That ain't no big thing but it's a gold star for me You get tired and disgusted with me But 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 God to try to help me He looked down from Heaven and said to tell you please Just be patient, I'm a work in progress I'm sorry I was mad for 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 soaking in but probably need to re-read it But I can see now what you've been saying is right You get tired and disgusted with me But 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 God to try to help me He looked down from Heaven and said to tell you please Just be patient, I'm a work in progress I got laid off and we're behind on our bills I can't cross that picket line down at the mill I may not have money but I've got my pride Yeah I know Christmas is just around the corner And all my love can't keep us any warmer But look at the bright side We're both still alive You get tired and disgusted with me But 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 God to try to help me He looked down from Heaven and 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 --- Work in Progress - Alan Jackson
