Move On Back

How do you sleep at night
Knowing you left our kids
It does not sit with me alright
Your love is on the skids

They still love you even though
You up and walked away
It does not matter where you go
The children want to stay

So if you love them truly
Its time to come on back
No time to be unruly
Just get your life on track

So face your fears head on
And pack your bags to go
Before all your kids are gone
Try not to be so slow

They love you more anything
I tried to do the same
I showed my love in everything
They try to hide the shame

I’ve seen them cry about it
Please give yourself a smack
They don’t want you to quit
Just  you to move on back
