Jennings, Waylon - For The Kids Lyrics
You work like a slave for the kids
And I'd go to my grave for the kids
But we watched our love fade as we suffered that state
With this bargain we made for the kids.
But this intention's much worse for the kids
Yes, they're now old enough and they made the strongest stuff
Still it's gonna be rough for the kids.
These teardrops that fall for the kids
You know they're really not all for the kids
But I know you don't care and the only love there
Is the love that'd be shared for the kids.
Find a new love you should for the kids
And though I'm now out of sight if he don't treat them right
I'll be right back and I'll fight for the kids.
But I see you don't care the home that we shared
All our hopes and our prayers for the kids...

Jennings, Waylon For The Kids Comments
Beautifully sung. 'Truth hurts' sadness which Waylon understood & shared with us.
Interesting that it was written by Shel Silverstein who at that time had no children & never married. Quite different from the songs he wrote for Dr Hook. Shel was definitely a Renaissance Man---but he couldn't sing.
This is a very beautiful song, I love it, and I know his friend Kris Kristofferson love it ;-)
Still the only way I have to listen this great song. Many thanks again,
Robert
Ive always liked this one Eddie, thanks.
Wish I could have sung this song to my kids...a long time ago!
It really strikes home. TY Eddie....
Such words of truth...Thanks for the excellent video to go with it Eddie! (;-)
Wow! Not much brings a tear to my eye but that song just did. Excellent tune.
Thanks for Posting : - ))
