Up & At 'Em

Lyrics

Verse 1

Coffee's on and the truck's all loaded
Got a full tank waitin' outside
Map folded up on the dashboard
We're burnin' daylight if we don't ride

I've been ready since five this mornin'
Got the radio set just right
But everybody else in this house
Acts like they worked all night

Chorus

Up & At 'Em, come on let's go
We got six hundred miles of open road
Got snacks packed up and a cooler full of ice
If we leave right now we'll make good time

Sun'll be risin' in a little while
And I ain't spendin' it watchin' y'all sleep
Up & At 'Em, come on now
The world's too big for these sheets

Verse 2

The dog's sprawled out across the doorway
Won't even lift his sleepy head
I said, "Buddy, you wanna go?"
He yawned and rolled back over instead

My wife's got one eye barely open
Says, "Five more minutes" with a grin
Funny how five more minutes
Can turn into thirty again

Chorus

Up & At 'Em, come on let's go
We got six hundred miles of open road
Got snacks packed up and a cooler full of ice
If we leave right now we'll make good time

Sun'll be risin' in a little while
And I ain't spendin' it watchin' y'all sleep
Up & At 'Em, come on now
The world's too big for these sheets

Bridge

Now the sky's turnin' orange
And everybody's finally dressed
Funny thing about road trips
The start's always the hardest part, I guess

Final Chorus

Up & At 'Em, here we go
Windows down and we're on the road
Coffee in my hand and country on the dial
Now we're finally makin' miles

Dog's in the backseat lookin' proud
Like this whole trip was his idea
Up & At 'Em worked after all
Best day of the year is here

Yeah, Up & At 'Em worked after all
Best day of the year is here
