Mom
I know
I
let you down
And
though
you
say
the days are
happy
Why
is
the power off
and
I'm
up?
And
mom
I know
he's
not around
But
don't you
place
the blame
on me
As you
pour yourself
another drink
yeah
I
went in
headfirst
Never
thinking
about who
what
I said
hurt
In what
verse
My mom
probably
got it
the worst
The brunt of
it
but
as stubborn as
we are
Did
I
take
it
too far
?
'Cleanin'
Out
My Closet'
and
all them
other songs
But
regardless
I
don't hate
you
'cause
Ma!
You're still
beautiful
to me
'cause
you're my
mom
Though
far be it from
you
to
be calm
Our house
was
Vietnam
Desert
storm
and
both of us
put together
Could
form
an atomic bomb
Equivalent to
chemical warfare
And
forever
we
could
drag this on
and
on
But
agree to disagree
That
gift
for me
up under
the christmas tree
Don't mean to
me
You're
kicking me out
?
It's
fifteen
degrees
and
it's
christmas eve
Little
prick,
just
leave
Ma
let me
grab
my coat
Anything
to
have
each other's
goats
Why
we
always
at each other's throats
?
Especially when
dad
he
us both
We're
in the same boat
You'd think
that'd
make us close
Further
away it drove
us
But
together
headlights
shine
and
a
car
full of
belongings
Still
got a ways to go
Back to
grandma's house
it's
straight up
the road
And
I was
the man of the house
the oldest
So
my
shoulders
carried
the weight
of the load
Then
Nate
got
taken away
by the state
at eight years old
and
That's when
I
realized
you were
sick
And
it wasn't
fixable
or
changable
And
to this day
we
remained
estranged
And
I
hate
it
though
but
I guess
we are
who
we are
Headlights
shining
in the dark
night
I
drive on
Maybe
we took
this
too far
'Cause
to this day
we
remain
estranged
and
I
hate
it
though
'Cause
you
ain't even
get to
witness
your
grandbabies grow
But
I'm sorry
mamma
for 'cleanin' out
My Closet'
At the time
I was
angry
Rightfully
?
Maybe
so
Never
meant that
far to take
it
though
'cause
Now
I know
it's not
your fault
And
I'm not making jokes
That
song
I
no longer
play
at shows
And
I
cringe
every time
it's on
the radio
And
I
think of
Nathan
being placed
in a home
And
all
the medicine
you
fed us
And
how i just wanted
you
to
taste your own
but
Now
the
medication's
taken over
And
your
mental state's
deteriorating
slow
And
I'm
way too old
to
cry,
the
****'s
painful
though
But
Ma
I forgive you
so does
Nathan
yo
All you did
all you said
You
did
your best
to raise us
both
foster care
that
cross
you bear
Few
may be
as heavy as
yours
But
I love you
Debbie
Mathers
What a tangled web
we have
'cause
One thing
I
never asked
was
Where
the
my
deadbeat dad
was
It
I guess
he had trouble
Keeping up with
every address
But
I'd
have
flipped
every mattress
Every rock
and
desert cactus
Owned
a collection of
maps
and
followed my kids
To the
edge
of
the
atlas
If
someone ever
moved 'em
from me
That
you
could've bet
your asses
if i had to
come down
the chimney
dressed as
Santa
Kidnap
them
And
although
one has
only
met their
grandma
Once
you
pulled up
in our drive
one night
As we were
leaving
to get
some hamburgers
Me
her
and
Nate
we
introduced you
hugged you
And
as you
left
I had
this overwhelming
sadness
Come over
me
As we
pulled off
to go
our separate paths
and
I saw
your headlights
as i looked back
And
I'm mad
I
didn't
get the chance
to
Thank you
for being
my Mom
and
my Dad
So
Mom
please
accept this as
a tribute
I
wrote
this
on the jet
I guess
I had
to get
this
off
my
chest
I hope
I
get the chance
to
lay it
before i'm dead
The stewardess
said to
fasten
my seatbelt
I guess
we're
crashing
So
if I'm
not dreaming
I hope
you
get this message
That
I
will always
love you
from afar
'Cause
you're my
mom
I guess
we are
who
we are
Headlights
shining
in the dark
night
I
drive on
Maybe
we took
this
too far
I want
a new life
