You'd Better Sit Down Kids Lyrics - Jan Howard

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
