You just got back in the country,
So take an hour and come talk to me,
Lets go out and have coffee like old times.
Your eyes are tired and you're hurried,
You drink your latte and off you go,
Another night in your studio.
And you say that your family is fine,
And you say that your wife doesn't mind,
The cold in the covers when she goes to sleep
And the kids seem to have their own lives,
Don't miss seeing me on the sidelines,
I'm busy but the family is fine.
I heard right after it happened,
The town is small and we all found out,
Divorce was final around Christmas time
The holidays can be lonely,
I call you up to see how you've been,
Your voice is shaky on the other end,
But you say that you're doing just fine,
And you say that really don't mind
The cold in the covers when you go to sleep.
And the kids seem to have their own lives,
Don't miss seeing me on the sidelines,
I'm busy but the family is fine.
Well your wife had a different story,
She told me how it spiraled down,
She said you couldn't be a husband or a father,
And you were never around.
The children miss him badly,
And I do too,
The bed is cold and lonely,
All she wants is you,
All they want is you.
So don't say that the family is fine,
Don't say that your wife doesn't mind
The cold in the covers when she goes to sleep,
And kids seem to have their own lives,
But they miss seeing you on the sidelines,
You're busy and the family is fine,
You're so busy and the family is fine.
