Freeway
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things in life
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
she never wanted to be more than
a mother and a wife
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
the only thing that seemed
to be inportant in her life
was to make a house a home and to make us happy
Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often left her alone,
she didn't mind the stayin' home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
and she never missed
the flowers and the cards he never sent her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
and she didn't need those things to make her happy
and she didn't seem to notice
that he didn't kiss and hold her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke just to find a note
Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
the words she had written there to daddy
she said, "the kids are old enough,
they don't need me very much
I've gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
but I just can't keep holding on"
she never meant to come back home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
Good-bye to daddy
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
she never wanted to be more than
a mother and a wife
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
the only thing that seemed
to be inportant in her life
was to make a house a home and to make us happy
Mama never wanted anymore than what she had
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
He often left her alone,
she didn't mind the stayin' home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
and she never missed
the flowers and the cards he never sent her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
being took for granted was a that thing she accepted
and she didn't need those things to make her happy
and she didn't seem to notice
that he didn't kiss and hold her
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
One morning we awoke just to find a note
Mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
and as he began to read it out ears could not beleive it
the words she had written there to daddy
she said, "the kids are old enough,
they don't need me very much
I've gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
but I just can't keep holding on"
she never meant to come back home
if she did, she never did say so to daddy
Good-bye to daddy
