woulds & shoulds
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4 and
Momma says that I should marry rich
Daddy says that I'm a smart young miss
He wants me to go to college
She wants me to have babies
Brother says that I should settle down in Nashville
To chase my dreams before they run away
He wants me to write him a sonnet
I wouldn't mind that, actually
But if woulds and shoulds were pots and pans
There would be no need to tinker's hands
And I vowed long ago
To ignore them
No matter what people might say
I won't give shoulds the light of day
And woulds
Bring me no enjoyment
My friend said I should write a novel
She said that I would make a dime
But I think in all bittersweet honesty
That's her dream
More than it's mine
And my grandmother said I should be a hermit
And retire to the mountains when I'm twenty-six
I didn't really mind this idea
But because she said should
I ignored it
Because if woulds and shoulds were pots and pans
There would be no need to tinker's hands
And I vowed long ago
To ignore them
No matter what people might say
I won't give shoulds the light of day
And woulds
Bring me no enjoyment
Oh, if woulds and shoulds were pots and pans
There would be no need to tinker's hands
And I vowed long ago
To ignore them
No matter what people might say
I won't give shoulds the light of day
And woulds
Bring me no enjoyment
