With one thing on my mind
Get my kid and get on the road
Leave the past behind
We were married five long years
Sometimes it don't work out
But try explaining that to a child
When he asks you what it's all about
He'll say, why can't mommy and daddy live together
Why can't mommy and daddy get along
Why can't friends and family stick together
If everybody's right, then who's wrong
We named our boy Dylan
Just like Zimmerman
And tried to raise him as best we could
Our folks would understand
But Mary ran off late in May
With some guy from a band
And for eighteen months I raised my son
With my own two hands
Then she turned up with some lawyer
He had a paper from the court
Dylan had to go and live with her
I paid child support
Now we're driving down the highway
Just me and my boy at my side
And as he's staring out the window
He hangs his head and sighs
He says, why can't mommy and daddy live together
Why can't mommy and daddy get along
Why can't friends and family stick together
If everybody's right, then who's wrong
Well I drove into town last Sunday With one thing on my mind Get my kid and get on the road Leave the past behind We were married five long years Sometimes it don't work out But try explaining that to a child When he asks you what it's all about He'll say, why can't mommy and daddy live together Why can't mommy and daddy get along Why can't friends and family stick together If everybody's right, then who's wrong We named our boy Dylan Just like Zimmerman And tried to raise him as best we could Our folks would understand But Mary ran off late in May With some guy from a band And for eighteen months I raised my son With my own two hands Then she turned up with some lawyer He had a paper from the court Dylan had to go and live with her I paid child support Now we're driving down the highway Just me and my boy at my side And as he's staring out the window He hangs his head and sighs He says, why can't mommy and daddy live together Why can't mommy and daddy get along Why can't friends and family stick together If everybody's right, then who's wrong Explain Request ×
