You'd better sit down kids I'll tell you why kids

You might not understand kids just give it a try kids

Now how should I put this I've got something to say

Your mama is staying but I'm going 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 ask

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 cause I won't be there to stop them anymore



I know you don't want this but neither do we

But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee

So try to be calm kids and don't look so sad

Just cause I am leaving I'll still be your dad

But 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...

Well I have to go now so kiss me goodbye my eyes are just red kids I'm too big to cry
