The Colors of My Days

Verse
Little Hailey in her pink pajamas
Waking me up at a quarter to five
Black coffee you make at dawn
Even when you’re dead tired
My dusty silver Chevy truck
That left taillight never seems to work
But every Sunday it takes us down the road
To our little white church
Chorus
You don't see red when I don't bring home a ton of green
I try not to get the blues ‘cause of a few faded dreams
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
Verse
And I’m proud to wear this orange hard hat
But it ain’t the work that makes time fly
It’s the thought of getting home to you
And them big, brown eyes
I used to see things in shades of grey
Like and old western on TV
But when I see a yellow school bus coming home
That’s everything for me
Chorus
You don't see red when I don't bring home a ton of green
I try not to get the blues ‘cause of a few faded dreams
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
Bridge
Any time I’m feeling tired
And life’s getting hard
I go over to the mantle and pick up Daddy's purple heart
Inst verse half verse
Chorus
You don't see red when I don't bring home a ton of green
I try not to get the blues ‘cause of a few faded dreams
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
I see a rainbow when I look in your face
That’s what colors my days
