Stay at Home Mother

[Verse 1] Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back And then we're going to have a good time when I come together And I call her every single night I'll miss her every day And if she kissed me and waved goodbye I could hear her say [Chorus] Stay at home, mother Stay at home Stay at home, mother Stay at home [Verse 2] I've been working late nights making up for the times That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at our school plays Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day But the price will never measure up To what's inside a box While I run along around the world She tells me to stop [Chorus] [Verse 3] We could play house and pretend That tomorrow you won't be gone Stay at home, mother Stay at home I wish some things were different Doesn't change one memory My little girl grew up While I was too busy to see That she's become the one thing That I could never be [Chorus] [Outro] She could have a house and couple kids And never have to be involved As a stay at home mother Stay at home mother Stay at home...
