Stay At Home Mom

I was raised to be a stay at home mom since I sat on my mother's knee
Get good grades, stay away from girls til one of 'em wants to marry me

Brush my teeth
Sweep the floor
Laundry day once a week
I play guitar
Piano too
Eagle scout
I can sew

I hold my breath to see what comes next with this testosterone steering me
I read a book, write a song or a poem
Got no weekend plans but wait and see

Ride my bike
Mop the floor
Decorate
Buy a lamp
Check my phone
Write a song
Think out loud
All alone

What do you mean I got bills to pay?
Just wanna party every night of the week.
Nobody told me I was on my own
The world's a bronco with a temper that I face alone
Who's gonna tuck me in tonight?

I was raised to be a stay at home mom
The best damn babysitter you'll ever see
I can feed and teach your kids to read
And then I'll sing 'em to sleep at night

Keep em safe
Mama bear
Lock the door
Watch TV
Keep the fear
To myself
Be polite
Life is good

Not far from now I'm gonna be a man
They keep telling me on the screen
Don't have to walk if I talk the talk
Life's a breezy piece of cake cause I got a cock
Wear a smile
Get a job
I'll be rich now
They say I'm doing fine but who could know?
My aspirations keep me right at home

So many lives I should've lived
Only a handful of tomorrows
to be what I should be
My dreams keep me awake
but they're gone by morning
I don't know what to want
Don't know who to need
My true self is a liar
My true self is a liar
My true self is a liar

I was raised to be a stay at home mom
Say goodbye to my social life
I can tell you a thing or two about love
And the smile of its unkindest knife

Grit my teeth
Try again
All is well
Til all is lost
See it start
Watch it grow
Less alive
Every time
