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 here life for him

And 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

Ev’ry mornin' at 5 a.m. Having 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 here life for him

And 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 here life for him

And he’d gladly die for her

And even in this modern age, it works

Even in this modern age, it works…
