For The Kids Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

(Shel Silverstein) 

You work like a slave for the kids 

And I'd go to my grave for the kids 

But we watched our love fade as we suffered that state 

With this bargain we made for the kids. 

Divorce is a curse for the kids 

But this intention's much worse for the kids 

Yes, they're now old enough and they made the strongest stuff 

Still it's gonna be rough for the kids. 

These teardrops that fall for the kids 

You know they're really not all for the kids 

But I know you don't care and the only love there 

Is the love that'd be shared for the kids. 

Find a new love you should for the kids 

And I hope that he's good for the kids 

And though I'm now out of sight if he don't treat them right 

I'll be right back and I'll fight for the kids.
