Our Way of Life Songtext
von George Jones & Tammy Wynette

Well, I′m tired of all of this cookin' and a-makin′ beds
And havin' to see that all the kids are fed
While you work at the office all day long
And I'm a-leavin′ to go to work
When you come home

Well, I′d love to be at home cookin' for you
I′d feed the kids and send them off to school
But I need to work, help you pay the rent
And before it's made, we know it′s already spent


Well, that's our way of life and we gotta keep on livin′
If we ever have anything to speak of
That's our way of life
And we're gonna keep on livin′
Till our way of life gets in our way of love

Well, I guess I′m a-satisfied the way life is
'Cause the man next door, he′s not too proud of his
When he comes home, you can see the awful hurt
His wife is gone, but she's not gone to work
Yeah, the folks next door, they′re really in a fix
And it's not the dog who knows the brand-new tricks
So let′s be proud of livin' our own way
And you keep workin' nights, and I′ll work by day


Well, that′s our way of life and we gotta keep on livin'
If we ever have anything to speak of
That′s our way of life
And we're gonna keep on livin′
Till our way of life gets in our way of love
And the way of life never gets in the way of love
