Another Try (Live)
Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the week away
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 evenings pass
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
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 rarely 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
What did he do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the week away
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 evenings pass
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
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 rarely 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
