Every Other Weekend

You know his Mom and I we love him
And we wanna do what’s right
But we can’t stay together
With him in the middle of our fight

But I get so down
Because he’s not around
I call him on the phone

I’ll pick him up
Next Friday after school
And I’ll show him our new home

(chorus)
Every other weekend
I’ll get to say goodnight
And every other weekend
I’ll turn out the lights
There’s an empty room at the end of the hall
Twelve days and nights
But every other weekend, everything’s alright

I guess I always took for granted
That he’d be by my side
I miss him so much I can’t stand it
It breaks my heart, it makes me cry

They say you find a way, to take it day by day
And everything will work out fine
Time heals the wounds, I’ll see him soon
I’m still his and he’s still mine

(chorus)

I’ll never forget the first time he walked
And Dad was his first word when he learned to talk
Now I’ve gotta wait so long
Lord keep me strong

(chorus)

Everything’s alright, everything’s gonna be alright
