It Works (Alabama)

He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast And pours him a glass of tea Deep in her heart she believes That's the way it should be Yeah, and I've seen my dad get fightin' mad Over one little four-letter word He'll tell you fast you don't talk Like that around her We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works Though he's been down in his back He still jumps out of that sack every mornin' at 5 a.m. Havin' her home with the kids Has been worth it to him Yeah, and she takes pride in bein' his wife And making their house a home And sometimes she wishes the world Would just leave them alone We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works If the good Lord's willin' There will come a day When our children will say We may not see it the way they see it We may not do it the way they do it But she lives her life for him, he'd gladly die for her And even in this modern age, it works Even in this modern age, it works
