working mother and her bastard son Lyrics

Baby boy sits in his rocking chair

Watching mama cook dinner for the family

Oh we were happy then

I think we used to be

Oh then daddy out that door

Mama's doing dishes and working late shifts

And the son's growing up to be a man

And he's wandering

He's got his legs under him now

Oh watch him walk mama

Listen to him talk about mama

Oh but nobody is there

To keep home peacefully

Like it needs to be

See what it means to me

What does it mean to me?

Oh did nobody care

Enough to stick around

Spread roots and settle down

Why do I care

Oh why do I care?

Now mama's at the factory working all day

And her baby boy's all alone cause that man no he could not stay

That kid is walking out the door

Says to himself "There must be more"

No what's mama, what's mama gonna say

When she finds out, boy she'll find out

Her baby boys gone and run away.

Why would you ever run away?

Oh, did nobody care

Enough to stick around?

Spread roots and settle down

Why do I care?

Oh, why do I care?

Yea, why do I care?

Oh mam she's got feeling too.

Don't think she hasn't had better offers than you

Now she's sticking by your side like she's supposed to do

So that's the least that you can do

God damn that mother fucker who ran out on the two of you

Now a grave memory is all that is left

Ooh I hope that your mind has kept it

All that, all that, all that you can do

Is name the person

Who's responsible for you

Now what are you gonna do?

Run run run run away

Run run run run away

Run run run run away

Why would you ever run, run away?
