Every Other Weekend

(Reba)
Every Other Friday
It’s toys and clothes and backpacks
Is everybody in? Ok
Lets go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses
There are always sad
We trade a couple words and looks and kids again
Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)
Every Other Weekend
Very few exceptions
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It’s movies on the sofa
Grilled cheese and cut the crust off
“But that’s not the way mom makes it daddy” breaks my heart
I miss everything I use to have with her again
Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)
But I can’t tell her I love her

(Reba)
I can’t tell him I love him

(Kenny)
Cause there’s too many questions and

(Both)
Ears in the car

(Reba)
So I don’t tell him I miss him

(Kenny)
I don’t tell her I need her

(Both)
She’s(He’s) over me, that’s where we are

(Kenny)
So we’re as close as we might ever be again

(Both)
Every Other Weekend

(Reba)
Every Other Saturday
First thing in the mornin’
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
I know why, but I don’t know why
We ever let this happen
Fallin’ for forever was a big mistake
There’s so much not to do, and all day not to do it in
Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)
Every Other Sunday
I empty out my backseat
While my children hug their mother in the parking lot
We don’t touch
We don’t talk much
Maybe goodbye to each other
Then she drives away with every piece of heart I’ve got
I reconvince myself we did the right thing
Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)
So I can’t tell her I love her

(Reba)
I can’t tell him I love him

(Kenny)
Cause there’s too many questions and

(Both)
Ears in the car

(Reba)
So I don’t tell him I miss him

(Kenny)
I don’t tell her I need her

(Both)
She’s(He’s) over me, that’s where we are

(Kenny)
So we’re as close as we might ever be again

(Both)
Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)
Yeah for fifteen minutes we’re a family again

(Reba)
God I wish that he was still with me again

(Both)
Every Other Weekend
