|
You dropped me off for my first day of school |
|
Six years old and had to learn new rules |
|
I didn't know what |
|
I was walking into |
|
I turned around and waved goodbye to you |
|
When you left me |
|
I remembered you |
|
Told me when the lunch bell rings at noon |
|
And I'm through with |
|
Twinkie number two |
|
I'd be half a day away from you |
|
Half a day away from you |
|
Mom you always know what to do |
|
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue |
|
Half a day away from you |
|
Twenty years and half a million miles |
|
A lot of tears and 'bout as many smiles |
|
Gettin' by with life the way |
|
I do Gettin' paid to sing and play for you |
|
I bought a |
|
Twinkie at an old truckstop |
|
Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped |
|
I said "Hey Mama" when the call went through "I'm only half a day away from you" |
|
Half a day away from you |
|
Mamas always know what to do |
|
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue |
|
Half a day away from, half a day away from you |
