This song started out with just a title and turned into, well, have a listen and see....

You've Got What It Takes

I’m up at 5 a.m. and man it’s tough
Drive to work before the sun comes up
Workin’ twenty-five years now with twenty to go
For a union pension and a watch of gold

Say I love you and I kiss your cheek
Soft enough just to let you sleep
Then it’s off to work I got bills to pay
We ain’t millionaires but we do ok

You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face
You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face

BREAK

You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face
You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face

When it’s quittin’ time and I’ve paid my dues
Leave behind them workin’ man blues
Maybe go dancin’, maybe we’ll stay home
Lock the doors and disconnect the phone

Daddy told me life could be hard
Don’t get nothin’ wishin’ on a star
But one of them stars must’ve been listenin’
When I told them it was you I was missin’

You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face
You’ve got what it takes
Knowin’ that you love me, puts a smile on my face

great song
by: Lonnie

It's so refreashing after reading some of the junk thats on here to once in awhile find a real song. They are few and far between. I thought it was a very preatty song, I did not listen to it see how I have a slow connection, but I'm sure it sounds great
