This lyric was written for my son, who is now in 5th grade. He used to be my shadow, whenever I wasn't at work and he wasn't at school.

-------------------
[VERSE 1]
The alarm goes off, at 6 a.m.;
Gotta get up and on my feet again,
Grab a quick shower, and shave my raggedy face.
Daddy's boy's still in his bed;
Time to wake up that sleepy-head.
Kindergarten's waiting, we don't wanna be late.
Find his clothes and help him dress.
Then he's on my heels with every step.
[CHORUS]
Then we're out the door and on the road,
Listening to country radio,
And he's singing his favorite tunes,
Cause he hears me singing them too.
Drop him off, with a wink and a grin,
Til quitting time rolls round again.
Then, no matter what we do, and no matter where we go,
He's my five o'clock shadow.
[VERSE 2]
Pick him up at the end of the day;
With a great big hug, we're on our way.
He helps me drive, from the shotgun seat again.
Down the road, it's dinner for two,
Taco Bell and a Mountain Dew.
Talking bout how school's been treating him.
Bath and bed when we get back in,
and when the morning comes, do it all again.
[CHORUS]
Then we're out the door and on the road,
Listening to country radio,
And he's singing his favorite tunes,
Cause he hears me singing them too.
Drop him off, with a wink and a grin,
Til quitting time rolls round again.
Then, no matter what we do, and no matter where we go,
He's my five o'clock shadow.
[Repeat]
He's my five o'clock shadow.
