lyrics

The door comes flying open and the kids run to the car
They're running so far, so fast, they don't know where they are
They're running everywhere 'cause that's what kids'll do
And if you've got a question, you have to run too

You're sitting on the porch and the kids come screaming home
And they're running up the stairs because they want to be left alone
They want to be left alone, 'cause that's what kids'll do
And if you've got an answer, there's nothing you can do

They don't want to listen and they don't want to stay
And there's nothing you can do because it's always been that way
It's always been that way and there's nothing you can do
And if you've got a problem, uh, hmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmm

They want to be independent and they want to be with their friends
And they want to stay at the party until the party ends
They want to stay at the party 'cause that's what kids'll do
And if you want to go to the party, you can't

You can't go to the party, 'cause you're forty-five years old
And you were not invited and you're sitting on the porch
You're sitting on the porch 'cause that's what parents do
And if you've got a problem, uh, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

The kids become the parents, and the parents have more kids
And we've got it coming and going and I guess we always did
We've got it coming and going 'cause that's the way it goes
And if you've got a problem, the Wabash Cannonball
