Songtext Up to him Tracy Lawrence

Up to him

I'm there at 8, not 8:01
And I stay late to get it done,
And tolerate the boss's son.
Good jobs don't grow on trees.

There's even rumors going round
They're gonna shut this factory down.
It's going to kill this little town
If they send it overseas.

You can hope for the best and plan for the worse,
If lightning doesn't strike you first.
Who knows what's gonna happen in the end.
I just work like it's all up to me,
And pray like it's all up to him

I've got that Friday paycheck in my hand,
Minus a bite from Uncle Sam.
But no complaints, I understand
It's the nature of the game.

I pay the water bill, electricity,
the mortgage and that policy
That takes care of my family
should the good Lord call my name.

And I just hope for the best and plan for the worse
If lightning doesn't strike me first.
Who knows what's going to happen in the end.
I just work like it's all up to me,
And pray like it's all up to him.

And at the end of the day
when I've done all I can,
I drop to me knees
and leave it all in his hands.

And I just hope for the best and plan for the worse,
If lightning doesn't strike me first.
Who knows what's going to happen in the end.
I just work like it's all up to me,
And pray like it's all up to him.

Like it's all up to him.My hands are in my pocket
My pockets are full of change
Enough to buy some bait and gasoline
I head down the road where the road gets smaller
Next thing you know I am way back in a holler.
And my lines in the water
Where the water runs deep
I cant help but to believe
I know where heaven is.

(chorus)
Its a life full of days like this
Enough to make the devil smile and
Take a break for a little while
And walk away knowing my soul wont ever be his
Cuz I know where Heaven is

Got a fork in the pie
And the pie is homemade
Half the people here has got my last name
I am sitting at a table
The table is to small
Cuz two new cousins got born last fall
The tire swing is swinging out over the creek
Aint no better place to be
I know where Heaven is

(chorus)
Its a life full of days like this
Enough to make the devil smile
Take a break for a little while
And walk away knowing my soul wont ever be his
Cuz I know where Heaven is.

I dont need no directions
I dont need no map
I know I am in paradise
Wherever my heart hangs its hat

I know where Heaven is
Look around its hard to miss
Living proof that God exists.

I know where heaven is.
(chorus)
Its a life full of days like this
Enough to make the devil smile and
Take a break for a little while
And walk away knowing my soul wont ever be his
Cuz I know where Heaven
I know where Heaven
I know where Heaven is
Yes I Do
