Stay At Home Mother

Album: Feels Like Home (2013)

  • Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
    Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together
    I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
    And then we're gonna have a good time when I come together

    And I call her every single night
    I'll miss her every day
    And if she kissed me and waved goodbye
    I could hear her say

    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home
    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home

    I've been working late nights making up for the times
    That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at our school plays
    Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
    I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day

    But the price will never measure up
    To what's inside a box
    While I run all around the world
    She tells me to stop

    And stay at home, mother
    Stay at home
    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home

    We could play house and pretend
    That tomorrow you won't be gone
    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home

    Wishing things were different
    Doesn't change one memory
    My little girl grew up
    While I was too busy to see
    Now she's become the one thing
    That I could never be

    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home
    Stay at home, mother
    Stay at home

    She could have a house and a couple of kids
    And never have to be involved
    As a stay at home mother
    Stay at home mother
