You better sit down kids, I'll tell you why, kids
|
You might not understand, kids, But give it a try, kids
|
Now how should I put this, I've got something to say
|
Your mama is staying, But I'm goin' away
|
No, we're not mad, kids, And it's hard to say why
|
Your mother and I, kids, Don't see eye to eye
|
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed
|
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
|
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
|
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
|
Keep in mind your mama's gonna need
|
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
|
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
|
I won't be here to stop them anymore
|
|
I know you don't want this, But neither do we
|
But sometimes things happen, That we can't foresee
|
So try to be calm, kids, And don't look so sad
|
Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad
|
But just remember I love you, And though I'm not here
|
Just call if you need me, I'll always be near
|
|
Say your prayers before you go to bed
|
Make sure you get yourself to school on time
|
I know you'll do the things your mother asks
|
She's gonna need you most to stay in line
|
Keep in mind your mother's gonna need
|
Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
|
No more fightin' over little things 'cause
|
I won't be here to stop them anymore
|
|
Well, I have to go now, So kiss me goodbye
|
My eyes are just red, kids, I'm too big to cry
|
