America - Another Try lyrics

Hey, daddy just lost his pay<br>What did he do it for<br>It never made it through our door<br>He drank the whole week away<br>And what can a family say<br>There must be a better way<br>Now mama don't start to cry<br>Let's give him another try<br><br>Pick up the telephone<br>Tell him you want him home<br>To sit and watch the evenings pass<br>And readin' the leaves of grass<br><br>I'm caught in a closing door<br>It's pinning me to the floor<br>Now mama don't start to cry<br>Let's give him another try<br><br>I'm caught in a closing door<br>It's pinning me to the floor<br>Now mama don't start to cry<br>Let's give him another try<br><br>When we're old and gray<br>And the things we say are the things we really mean<br>So why cause a scene<br>When things ain't what they seem<br>'cause the end result's the same<br>Now what can a family say<br>There must be a better way<br>Now mama don't start to cry<br>Let's give him another try
