Steven Dale Jones - Every Other Friday at Five lyrics

[Verse 1] One out of two ain't gonna make it Those are the odds these days And in a world of statistics, he's left tryin' to survive Until every other Friday, at five [Verse 2] He counts the days and then the hours Till he can hold his babies in his arms And they'll be watchin' out the window, when he pulls up in the drive On every other Friday, at five [Chorus] For forty-eight hours, they're with him again But on Sunday afternoon he's out of time Some folks call him a deserter, but his kids know he'll arrive On every other Friday, at five [Verse 2] So let's not put them in the middle And play tug-of-war with their little hearts But let mamas and daddies, smile hello and wave goodbye On every other Friday, at five [Chorus 2] For forty-eight hours, they're with him again But on Sunday afternoon he's out of time And some folks call him a deserter, but his kids know he'll arrive On every other Friday, at five [Outro] And they'll be watchin' out the window, when he pulls up in the drive On every other Friday, at five
