Anything But That

Pretty lady next to me, no more tears, yeah, no more crying
Not too late to start again, keep on moving, keep on trying
Too much pain for one life, too much pain for a loving wife
Starry eyes have turned to gray, make those clouds all move away

I dont wanna see no more hands falling on me, well
I just think its time we leave, well
And now you finally cry, years go by, you finally cry, well
I just think its time we leave

Little man has come and gone, poor little boy cant sing his song
Working down at the factory, then how come things
Aint how they oughta be?
Well, here comes Pop, he sure looks mad, much too mean to call my dad
Hey there mom, what did I do? Nothing sweetie, it's not you, well

And I dont wanna hear my little girl shedding no tears, well
I just think its time we leave, well
I dont wanna dry my little boys crying eyes, well
I just think its time we leave

I was twenty years old, what could I do
Twenty years old when we had you
And I dont think youre being fair
Still a little boy at heart
Running around in her backyard

Little girl is all grown up, shes come to know a loving touch
I gotta find the same for Mom, keep that heartbeat moving along
Hey there dad, whatre you gonna do?
You kick in the door and try to break through
To get to her you gotta break through me
I aint the little kid I used to be, well

I refuse to see any more hands falling on me, well
I just think its time we leave, well
And now you finally cry, without your love Ill surely die, well
I just think its time we leave
