Starting Over Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their way

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put mama and daddy back together again

[Chorus]
Starting over again
Where should they begin?
'Cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown?
And the whole world cries

[Verse 2]
He got an apartment, she moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home, sorting out pieces
Of left over memories from thirty-odd years
[Chorus]
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own?
Starting over again (Over again)
Never any end

[Bridge]
What will the neighbors say?
They're talking talk, it's small town news
They're facing fifty years old
Wrecking up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

[Chorus]
Starting over again
Oh, where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own?
Starting over again
Oh, never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown

[Outro]
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put mama and daddy back together
