I'm the one that does it
when your not around
The one that did it
before you came to town
I am the one that decides
who stays and who goes
I am the one that pays
the one that stomps toes
I am the one that throws down
when there is a fight to be fought
I am the one that teaches
when there is a lesson to be taught
I am the one that bandages
your elbows and knees
When you have fallen
and start to bleed
I am the one that worked two jobs
when things got tough
The one that did without
so you had enough
I am the one that mows the grass
the one that cuts the trees
The one that takes out the trash
and does it all for free
I am the one that loves you
no matter what you’ve done
That one that cares for you
like a guardian from above
The first one to stand
and the last one to sit
The one that makes you duck
so you don’t get hit
I am the first one here
the last one to leave
I am the end of the line
The buck stops with me!
