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)
