lyrics

Little one laughing out loud
Raising hell in the backroom den
Daddy been working real hard
Got bills on the table and his nerves are wearing thin

He heard the big bang boom
Took a leap for the big backroom
Little feets running like lightning
But he caught'em just a little too soon

Momma came running in
Said, Honey what you doin' to my child?
I know you been workin' real hard
But it ain't no reason to run these children hog wild

Out come those angry words
He said all those hateful things
Don't know how it all happened
But it's looking like a pretty bad dream

He would walk on water
Stand in a fiery flame
Just to get it back
All the words they said
Get it back
All those words they said

So come on come on come on come on people
Help'em get it back

Big stick working real hard
Got his boots in the mud and his head is in a dream
He got more on the ball
But his day job life got his living swimming upstream

He got to thinking real hard
About the life he leads
It's all about food on the table
And shoes on the little ones' feet

Little miss hit him with a ring
Said, Honey won't you be coming home real soon?
I've had a hard life day with these kids
And I'm sick and tired of pushing that broom

Out come those angry words
He said all those hateful things
Don't know how it all happened
But it's looking like a pretty bad dream

They would walk on water
Stand in a fiery flame
Just to get it back
All the words they said
Get it back
All those words they said

So come on come on come on come on people
Help'em get it back
