Lyrics
Mom would take her foot off the gas on the way back home On the way back home from school Slip into neutral on top of the hill and away we’d roll No breaking ‘cause breaking was breaking the rules Mama could role play like nobody else Pretend we were birds and make nests in the house One time she spat chewed up food in my mouth She was free, she was everything a mother should be When nobody else believed in me, mama would Mama would never accept things just the way they were Mama would always seek so much more Like the way she’d say “We're being chased by a murderer!” As she fumbled for the keys through the door No matter how awkward or hard, mama would ask Mama would never presume When others would hide or pretend Mom would make friends with the elephants in the room She’d want us to talk about her Why doesn’t he talk about her? I know, sure as hell, that if the shoe was on the other foot That mama would Daddy was never always this imperious Mama would actually make him laugh She’d say “Charles, life’s too important to be serious” Then she’d throw his phone in the trash Mama was positive, mama was pure Making this darkened dad less insecure No matter how rough the path mom would endure She was fun, she was bright and as warm as the sun Now that I’m seeing you spirit to spirit What if I left home but mama’s still in it? I’ve got to find her and you are the sign that I should Oh, 'cause mama would Mama would Mama would
