Every Other Friday At Five Lyrics - More - Trace Adkins

One out of two ain't gonna make it 

Those are the odds these days 

And in a world of statistics 

He's left tryin' to survive 

'Til every other Friday at five 

He counts the days and then the hours 

'Til he can hold his babies in his arms 

And they'll be watchin' out the window 

When he pulls up in the drive 

On every other Friday at five 

For forty-eight hours they're with him again 

But on Sunday afternoon he's out of time 

Some folks call him a deserter but his kids know he'll arrive 

On every other Friday at five 

So let's not put 'em in the middle 

And play tug-of-war with their little hearts 

But let mamas and daddies 

Smile hello and wave goodbye 

On every other Friday at five 

For forty-eight hours they're with him again 

But on Sunday afternoon he's out of time 

Some folks call him a deserter but his kids know he'll arrive 

On every other Friday at five 

And they'll be watchin' out the window 

When he pulls up in the drive 

On every other Friday at five
