You Better Sit Down Kids

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 You mother is staying But I'm going away No, we're not mad, kids It's hard to say why Your mother and I 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 mother's gonna need Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before No more fights over little things because I won't be here to stop them anymore I know you don't want this, neither do we But sometimes things happen That we can't foresee Now try to be calm, kids And don't look so sad Just cause I am leaving I'll still be your dad Just remember I love you And though I'm not here Just call if you need me And I'll always be near (Repeat Chorus) Well, I have to go now So kiss me goodbye My eyes are just red, kids I'm too big to cry
