Why I Love Your Mom

(Album: Before & After Life - 2021)

She is calm until she's not at all
And then she's crazier than anyone
And falls apart like brisket from the bone
She speaks her mind and she is kind
To animals and people who deserve her love

She is raw
She knocked her front teeth out three times
And can't wait to tell anyone
Who'll listen long enough to see the pics
And she is brave and she's new wave
And untraditional and loyal to her friends

Oh and she is lovely and she is strange
She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed
She knows where she belongs
She's herself and she is strong
That's why I love your mom

She is loud but in a fun endearing way
That nobody could replicate
Or fabricate enough to be believed
And she is grand and in command
And doesn't give a damn about what anybody else might think

She is funny she loves photography
And guarantees and possibilities
And pasta pomodoro in the sun
And she is chic and so unique
And can wear clothing that nobody else quite could

Oh and she is lovely and she is strange
She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed
She knows where she belongs
She's herself and she is strong
That's why I love your mom

And I love your mom because she gave me you
And it was hard on her but she came through
She didn't feel much like herself
Because she carried someone else
And she was beautiful and she is beautiful

She's impatient
You don't want to be on the other end of the phone
If she's got a customer dispute she can't resolve
She gets obsessed and sometimes stressed
When worrying she can't chase everything she loves

Oh but she is lovely and she is strange
She's amazing in a way that can't be tamed
She knows where she belongs
She's herself and she has the son
That's why I love your mom
That's why I love your mom
That's why I love your mom
