American Family

Alan O’Day

[Verse]
She leaves the warmth of covers
And she rises while her lover's
Still asleep
Starts the coffee and she rubs her eyes
And then the baby she carried
Wakes the man that she married
From his rest
Kiss good morning while the bacon fries

[Pre Chorus]
And the butterflies outside explore her garden
While he shaves his face to face another day

[Chorus]
The Amеrican Family is dying
The American marriage is through
You can rеad it in papers
See it on TV, too
But that doesn't mean it's true

[Verse 2]
He works from nine in the morning
Until five in the evening
At his trade
Paid vacation in a month or so
While back at home, she's been baking
Now she's taking in a pretty dress
She made
How much lower should this ribbon go?

[Pre Chorus]
And the evening brings him close with conversation
Of the little things that keep them all as one

[Chorus]
The American Family is dying
The American marriage is through
You can read it in papers
See it on TV, too
But that doesn't mean it's true

[Pre Chorus]
In the silence of the night they hold each other
And they don't break up the way they're s'posed to do

[Chorus]
The American Family is dying
The American marriage is through
You can read it in papers
See it on TV, too
But that doesn't mean it's true
