For The Kids

[Verse 1] Big backyard with a fence around it Right next to the best school in the county Sold the car and financed a Tahoe With a third row All week, you're runnin' from dance to baseball The dinner you fixed gets cold while I take a call [Pre-Chorus] You're tired all the time I'm tired all the time [Chorus] For the kids, I go to work, you stay at home Do what we do just to get through and watch them grow We fill this house with love But somehow lose it between us We swore we'd never end up likе this Married for the kids [Verse 2] We can tеll that somethin' don't feel right Try to talk it out on Wednesday date night But always end up in some kind of big fight Don't even know why I guess I just miss my blue jean baby And you miss your Friday night band [Pre-Chorus] We keep holdin' on 'Cause we gotta be strong [Chorus] For the kids, I go to work, you stay at home Do what we do just to get through and watch them grow We fill this house with love But somehow lose it between us We swore we'd never end up like this Married for the kids [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] For the kids, we stay up cryin' all night long But in my arms, I know it's right where you belong We fill this house with love It begins and ends with us Baby, there ain't nothin' we can't fix I know you don't want it, and I don't want it like this Married for the kids Married for the kids (Mm-mm-mm)
