Lousy Husband (But a Real Good Dad) Songtext
von Todd Sharpville

If there′s something in life that's surely no damn good
It′s the way my fellow men get misunderstood
When me and my old lady finally called it quits
She decided that she'd try and stop me seein' my kids
So easy for things to get real sad
For a lousy husband
(But a real good dad)
Boy meets girl, they fall in love
Choose to start a family then things get rough
He′s gonna lose his house, honey that′s the truth
So who thinks it's fair to take them children too?
The worst kinda blues you′re ever gonna have
When you're a lousy husband
(But a real good dad)
It′s hard to pay for one house when there's two indeed
And hold down your job when there′s a lawyer left to feed


You know that the biggest, loves of your life
Are missin' you bad while hearing shit from your wife
It's enough to drive a good man mad
When you′re a lousy husband
(But a real good dad)
The family used to be the heart
And soul of every strong neighborhood
How many broken homes before you see
It′s simply no damn good, no damn good
The lesson here, to be learned is not much to confess
A lovin' mom and a dad will always be best
You women may have reasons to reach for your guns
But don′t be taking it out on the innocent ones
So many of you out there who I know have had yourselves
A lousy husband
(But a real good dad)
