Mom

(álbum: Animal - 2013)

And mommy's dancing
Cooking in the kitchen
Cigarette's burning in the ashtray next to the roast
And by her feet
A cocktail and a cookie sheet
We draw our names in Jell-O

I'll never know what it was like
Not to have a man
To raise these children on your own
Without a single plan
God I know that you were crazy
But I loved the way your raised me

We hardly had two red cents to rub together
But we never wanted for love
She said "We are here, all of us together
And honey you are everything that matters."

I'll never know what it was like
Not to have a man
To raise these children on your own
Without a single plan
God I know that you were crazy
But I loved the way your raised me

Got a brother in the ground
Still feel him around
Got a bottle for a dad
Peace he never had
Got a way to live my life
Got a way to feel myself
Got a way to live my life

I'll never know what it was like
Not to have a man
To raise these children on your own
Without a single plan
God I know that you were crazy
But I loved the way your raised me

Oh you're crazy
But I love the way you...
Mom you're crazy
But I loved the way you raised me

You raised me
