Jan Howard - You'd Better Sit Down Kids lyrics

You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why You might not understand kids but give it a try Now how should I put this I've got something to say I will be staying but daddy's going away No we're not mad kids and it's hard to say why Your daddy and I kids don't see eye to eye Say your prayers before you go to bed help me get you off to school on time I know you'll do the things I'll ask of you I'm gonna need you more to stay in line Keep in mind I'm gonna need your help a whole lot more than I ever did before No more fightin' no more little things cause he won't be there to stop them anymore I know you don't want this neither do we But sometimes things happen that we can't forsee Now try to become kids and don't look so sad Just cause he is leaving he'll still be your dad Just remember we love you and though he's not here Just call if you'll need him he'll always be near Say your prayers... Well your dad has to go now so kiss him goodbye Our eyes are just red kids we're too big to cry You'd better sit down kids I'm telling you why You might not understand kids but give it a try
