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 become 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'll 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
