Moment of Glory

Here is a story that is bound to amuse ya

About a fine young couple startin' out in life

A dedicated husband and a real fine worker

Who lived for his children and his beautiful wife

But one night in Dallas at a computer convention

He got so loaded, he could hardly stand, yeah, yeah

Woke up with a heavy head and a strange girl beside him

Returned home a worried guilty man

But inside his coat his wife found a note

It said, "Thanks for the good time, can I see you again?"

She asked him, "Why oh why?"

Tears rollin' down her eyes

Would you give it all up for a moment of glory, glory

Packed up all her bags and returned to her mother

Two small children clinging to her dress

Hurt and disillusioned but never downhearted

She picked up the pieces of her broken life

And meanwhile back in Boston the culprit lie thinkin'

Trying to find the answer in a bottle of wine

Fired from his job and missing his children

He didn't care one way if he lived or died

Oh, what a crying shame, nobody else to blame

For one night of pleasure he had given her pain

Oh, how it was so hard to climb so far to give it all up

For a moment of glory, glory

As the months rolled by and accusations fly

The bloodsuckin' lawyers know they're in for a kill

The cold war begins, she's takin' off her rings

Close friends take sides while the waters are still

Phone rang twice in his stone cold appartment

It was his little boy Johnny and his sister Beth

They said, "Daddy we miss you would you talk to Mommy?"

A line of communication he had sadly missed

She said, "Now don't get me wrong, this is where you belong"

I said, "Good-bye children, we can work it all out"

But don't you ever forget how this family has bled

'Cause you give it all up for a moment of glory, glory

Won't you give it all up

You give it all up

Won't you give it all up

You give it all up

Don't you give it all up

Give it all up

Won't you give it all up

You give it all up

Won't you give it all up
