Backstory:
Empty nesters aren't always empty nesters for long. Families help each other in a time of need.
Lyrics:
They got their passports and flip flops
That island cruise is long overdue
Their son’s in the Navy daughter Jen has a baby
Now it’s back to just them two
Then the phone rings it’s Jen
She said I’d like to get my degree
If I get some loans then move back home
It would sure help your grandson and me
Now it’s high chairs and diapers Barney and friends
It’s déjà vu all over again
Cookie kisses and sticky hugs
Rubber duckies floatin’ in the tub
Oatmeal in the baby’s hair
Tiny fingerprints everywhere
They’re back where they’ve already been
It’s déjà vu all over again
Grandpa's Chrysler just sits there
Except for Sunday church a mile away
He called and asked about Jen and the baby again
At least three times yesterday
They stopped by last week
Found his pipe burnin’ the rug
He had fallen asleep while watching TV
They said Dad move in with us
Now it’s lectures and reruns tobacco tins
It’s déjà vu all over again
Elvis records and Ernest Tubb
Old fishing stories and love you hugs
Archie Bunker easy chair
Flannel shirt smell everywhere
They’re back where they’ve already been
It's déjà vu all over again
The sandwich generation caught between the young and old
But they don't mind putting their plans on hold.
Now they’re back where they’ve already been
It’s déjà vu déjà vu
Déjà vu all over again
