Our Way Of Life

Well, I'm tired of all of 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 know it's already spent

Well, that's our way of life and we 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'

Till our way of life gets 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

Yeah, the 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' our own way

And you keep workin' nights, and I'll work by day

Well, that's our way of life and we 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'

Till our way of life gets in our way of love

And the way of life never gets in the way of love
