You Better Sit Down Kids

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

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,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 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

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

Well, I have to go now

So kiss me goodbye

My eyes are just red, kids

I'm too big to cry
