It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
F C G7 C
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
F C
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
F C G7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
C F C
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
F C G7 C
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
F C
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
G7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
C F C
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
F C G7 C
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time

From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
F C G7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
C F C
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine

Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
