Another Try

Hey, daddy just lost his pay What did he do it for It never made it through our door He drank the whole week away And what can a family say There must be a better way Now mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try Pick up the telephone Tell him you want him home To sit and watch the evening's pa*s And readin' the leaves of gra*s I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try I'm caught in a closing door It's pinning me to the floor Now mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try When we're old and gray And the things we say Are the things we really mean So why cause a scene When things ain't what they seem 'Cause the end result's the same Now what can a family say There must be a better way Now mama don't start to cry Let's give him another try
