Looking Out for Number One - Travis Tritt

No matter what I do I can’t make you happy

Though I go to great lengths to do your will

If you say hurry, girl I make it snappy

Trying hard to keep your wishes filled

But I’m getting tired and feeling real discouraged

From being pressure underneath your thumb

So here’s a message you can give your mama

Starting now I’m looking out for number one

Lord everyone around me

I’ve tried so hard to please

Till the only one unhappy

Feeling broken down is me

But things are gonna change

With each new setting sun

Starting now I’m looking out for number one

It’s getting hard to face my morning mirror

There’s a stranger in there staring back at me

He tells me every day it’s getting clearer

Son you’re not the man you used to be

Yeah it’s time to get this monkey off my shoulder

And quit worrying 'bout the things that you want done

I’m gonna start the fire that you have smoldered

'Cause starting now I’m looking out for number one

(Repeat chorus

Yeah starting now I’m looking out for number one
