You Better Sit Down Kids - Remastered 2001

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
 Your mama is staying, But I'm goin' 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 asks
 She's gonna need you most to stay in line
 Keep in mind your mama's gonna need
 Your help a whole lot more than she ever did before
 No more fightin' over little things 'cause
 I won't be here to stop them anymore
 I know you don't want this, But neither do we
 But sometimes things happen, That we can't foresee
 So try to be calm, kids, And don't look so sad
 Just cause I am leavin', I'll still be your dad
 But just remember I love you, And though I'm not here
 Just call if you need me, 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 fightin' over little things 'cause
 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
