A Bump In the Road

Family life is not always smooth There's often bumps in the road Eventually they tend to sort themselves out But sometimes it's a heavier load Feelings run deep, they cut like a knife Small differences complicate things We're misunderstood, we overreact Send out arrows and slings If only us guys would say what we mean And always mean what we say We'd know exactly where each other stands Instead of stumbling on our way Guess we're talking about human nature Seems we're all a bit guilty at times It all comes back to our basic sensitivity As for love we constantly pine
