The Family Is Fine by Alli Rogers
The Family Is Fine lyrics
You just got back in the country
so take an hour and come talk to me
Let�s 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 the family is fine
You say that your wife doesn�t mind
the cold in the covers when she goes to sleep
�The kids seem to have their own lives,
don�t miss seeing me on the side lines,
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
You say that you really don�t mind
the cold in the covers when you go to sleep
�The kids seem to have their own lives,
don�t miss seeing me on the side lines,
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
when 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
The kids seem to have their own lives,
but they miss seeing you on the sidelines
You�re busy, but the family is fine
You�re so busy, and the family is �fine�
