I'm sitting here thinking of choices I've made
Wondering if it's time for a change
This apartment is small, costs most of my pay
I had a big house, but I moved away

I'm tired of working just to live hand to mouth
That house he's living in is still half mine
I moved out without a word to him
I think I'll move right back in again

Your life is your life and my life is mine
Stay on your own side and we'll be just fine
The kids will come over and I'll cook a feast
If you behave yourself, I'll save you a seat

He was twice my age and married twice
He looked like Howard Hughes, dressed real nice
I was from the country, couldn't leave too soon
He wined me and dined me, promised me the moon

When we first married, he had money to burn
He made bad decisions, his wealth took a turn
We had six children, we had them pretty fast
Would have six more if he hadn't shown his ass

Your life is your life and my life is mine
Stay on your own side and we'll be just fine
The kids will come over and I'll cook a feast
If you behave yourself, I'll save you a seat

He lost his mother when he was a babe
He never got over that first heartbreak
Spends most of his time alone in his bed
Depressed, ruminating on all his regrets

I grew up daddy's girl, apple of his eye
Daddy worked hard until the day he died
The depression was tough, my parents were tougher
Daddy was rough, Mama was rougher

Your life is your life and my life is mine
Stay on your own side and we'll be just fine
The kids will come over and I'll cook a feast
If you behave yourself, I'll save you a seat

Mama said don't marry this older man
He's a city slicker, he don't understand
He thinks he's so smart with his college degree
He thinks he is better than you and me

We had six kids, had them pretty fast
Would have six more if he hadn't shown his ass
That house he's living in is still half mine
I'm moving back in tonight

Your life is your life and my life is mine
Stay on your own side and we'll be just fine
The kids will come over and I'll cook a feast
If you behave yourself, I'll save you a seat
