The Grind

Father:

We're travelling

Down a bumpy road

Just relaxing

Let the miles unfold

Nothing brings a family 'gether like some dust in the eye

And we'll be there in the nick of time

Me and my family

We're smiling

At a steady pace

Mother:

Your daughters crying

Father:

Missouri's such a beautiful state

And it feels like everyday's another fourth of july

I got my freedom and my slice of pie

My beautiful family

Now come on kids it's time that we play a game

I spot some fun out here on the great plains

Stop for a second take it all in

"Are we there yet?" is the wrong question

You thought road trips were lame

Well they all ain't the same oh no

It's the grind

Take it one day at a time

And we'll find our way back home

Free your mind

Push your worries down the line

And we'll ease on down the road

Stop and look around do the chimney rock

Daughter:

Dad that totally looks like a giant co-

Father:

Cock-a-doo-del-do!

I wish there was something that could capture this moment

Something that fits right into your pocket

But we got time to kick the idea around

Oh boy!

It's the grind

Every bump by design

To grow some hair on your chest

Fall in line

Let your debt read the signs

Whose your daddy

Two got company

Of the wild wild west

Mother:

I'm trying

To enjoy the trip

I'm babysitting

But not my kids

Sometimes I wonder what the hell goes on in his head

Would he notice if any one of us wound up dead

Whom I kidding

Lord knows he'd kill himself instead

Can't say I'd tell a difference in bed

My beautiful family-

Son:

Dad I wanna keep this as a pet!

Father:

Throw it in a bag!

Mother:

Do that and you will regret it!

Father:

We need a few souvenirs if we past the test

Daughter:

I think I'm gonna throw up

Father:

If you're motion sick then get off the pot

And give the sole of your feet a shot

Nothing quite cures your heels like a song and dance

It's the grind yeah yeah

Family dance break

Father:

Everyone say yeah e yeah yeaaah

Everyone:
