Empty nesters aren't always empty nesters for long.

The sandwich generation finds themselves helping their adult children and their aging parents, often postponing their empty nester lifestyle.

There's still sand on their flip flops
That island cruise was 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

Her dad's Chrysler just sits there
Except for Sunday church a mile away
He called and asked about Jen and her classes 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
Yeah sometimes love means 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
