Our Way of Life

Well, I'm tired of all a-this cookin
And a-makin beds
And havin to see
That all the kids are fed

While you work at the office
All day long
And I'm a-leavin to go to work
When you come home

Well, I'd love to be at home
Cookin' for you
I'd feed the kids
And send them off to school

But I need to work
Help you pay the rent
And before it's made
We got your's already spent

But that's our way of life
And we gotta keep on livin
If we ever have anything to speak of

That's are way of life
And we're gonna keep on livin
Til our way of life
Get's in our way of love

Well, I guess I'm a-satisfied
The way life is
Cause the man next door
He's not too proud of his
When he comes home

You can see the awful hurt
His wife is gone
But she's not gone to work
Yes, folks next door

They're really in a fix
And it's not the dog
Who knows the brand new tricks
So let's be proud of livin

In our own way
And you keep workin nights
And I'll work by day
That's our way of life

And we've gotta keep on livin
If we ever have
Anything to speak of
That's our way of life

And we're gonna keep on livin
Til our way of life
Gets in our way of love
And the way of life
Never gets in the way of love
