If only real life were like this...

Every Other Weekend Reba McEntire and Kenny Chesney

(Reba)Every Other Friday, It's toys and clothes and backpacks, Is everybody in? Ok lets go see dad Same time in the same spot Corner of the same old parking lot Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad We trade a couple words and looks and kids again Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)Every Other Weekend Very few exceptions I pick up the love we made in both my arms It's movies on the sofa Grilled cheese and cut the crust off" But that's not the way mom makes it daddy" breaks my heart I miss everything I use to have with her again Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)But I can't tell her I love her

(Reba)I can't tell him I love him

(Kenny)Cause there's too many questions and

Both)Ears in the car

(Reba)So I don't tell him I miss him

(Kenny)I don't tell her I need her

(Both)She's(He's) over me, that's where we are

(Kenny)So we're as close as we might ever be again

(Both)Every Other Weekend

(Reba)Every Other Saturday First thing in the mornin 'I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away I know why, but I don't know why We ever let this happen Filling for forever was a big mistake There's so much not to do, and all day not to do it in Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)Every Other SundayI empty out my backseat While my children hug their mother in the parking lot We don't touch We don't talk much Maybe goodbye to each other Then she drives away with every piece of heart I've got I reconvince myself we did the right thing Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)So I can't tell her I love her

(Reba)I can't tell him I love him

(Kenny)Cause there's too many questions and

(Both)Ears in the car

(Reba)So I don't tell him I miss him

(Kenny)I don't tell her I need her

(Both)She's(He's) over me, that's where we are

(Kenny)So we're as close as we might ever be again

(Both)Every Other Weekend

(Kenny)Yeah for fifteen minutes we're a family again

(Reba)God I wish that he was still with me again

(Both)Every Other Weekend

Not, for me - not my life, not now - too much hatred but a great song nonetheless.
