Ernest Tubb - Dear Judge lyrics

The divorce had been granted and my wife was seeking the custody of our only son

And as our boy told his story we both started crying

Then I realized the harm we had done

He said your honor I'm seven and home was a heaven

My dad was a king in my eyes

My mother an angel who guided my footsteps and home was my one paradise

But I love them both and I can't choose just one

Dear judge can't you make them see

That mom without daddy or dad without mommy

Would only mean heartbreak to me

[ steel ]

Judge I'm so broken hearted my parents have parted

And gone are the dreams I once had

To me there's no other can be like my mother but I still want to be with my dad

But I love them both...
