You Better Sit Down Kids Lyrics - Campbell Glen

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
