Cletis Carr - Dylan Lyrics
Well I drove into town last SundayWith one thing on my mindGet my kid and get on the roadLeave the past behindWe were married five long yearsSometimes it don't work outBut try explaining that to a childWhen he asks you what it's all aboutHe'll say, why can't mommy and daddy live togetherWhy can't mommy and daddy get alongWhy can't friends and family stick togetherIf everybody's right, then who's wrongWe named our boy DylanJust like ZimmermanAnd tried to raise him as best we couldOur folks would understandBut Mary ran off late in MayWith some guy from a bandAnd for eighteen months I raised my sonWith my own two handsThen she turned up with some lawyerHe had a paper from the courtDylan had to go and live with herI paid child supportNow we're driving down the highwayJust me and my boy at my sideAnd as he's staring out the windowHe hangs his head and sighsHe says, why can't mommy and daddy live togetherWhy can't mommy and daddy get alongWhy can't friends and family stick togetherIf everybody's right, then who's wrong
