Mom
I know
I
let you down
And
though
you
say
the days are
happy
Why
is
the power off
and
I'm
up?
And
mom
I know
he's not
around
But
don't you
place
the blame
on me
As
you
pour
yourself another drink
yeah
I
went in
headfirst
Never thinking about
who
what I said
hurt
In what
verse
My mom
probably
got it
the worst
The brunt of
it
but
as stubborn as
we are
Did
I
take it too far
?
'Cleanin'
Out
My
Closet'
and
all them other
songs
But
regardless
I
don't hate you
'cause
Ma!
You're
still beautiful
to me
'cause
you're my
mom
Though
far
be it from
you
to be
calm
Our house
was
Vietnam
Desert
storm
and
both of us
put together
Could
form
an atomic bomb
Equivalent to
chemical warfare
And
forever
we
could
drag
this on and on
But
agree to disagree
That
gift
for me
up under
the
Christmas tree
Don't mean to
me
You're
kicking me out
?
It's
fifteen
degrees
and
it's
christmas eve
Little prick
just leave
Ma
let me
grab
my coat
Anything
to
have
each other's
goats
Why
we
always
at each other's throats
?
Especially
when
dad
he
us both
We're
in the same boat
You'd
think
that'd
make us close
Further
away it drove
us
But
together
headlights
shine
and
a
car full of
belongings
Still
got a
ways
to go
Back to
grandma's house
it's straight up
the road
And
I was
the man
of the house
the oldest
So
my
shoulders
carried
the weight
of the load
Then
Nate
got
taken away
by the state
at
eight
years old
and
That's when
I
realized
you were
sick
And
it wasn't
fixable
or
changable
And
to this day
we
remained
estranged
And
I
hate it
though
but
I guess
we are
who we are
Headlights
shining
in the dark
night
I
drive on
Maybe
we
took
this
too far
'Cause
to this day
we
remain
estranged
and
I
hate it
though
'Cause
you
ain't even
get to
witness
your grandbabies
grow
But
I'm sorry
mamma
for
'Cleanin'
Out
My
Closet'
At the time
I was
angry
Rightfully
?
Maybe
so
Never
meant
that far
to
take it
though
'cause
Now
I know
it's
not
your fault
And
I'm
not making jokes
That
song
I
no longer
play
at shows
And
I
cringe
every time
it's on
the radio
And
I
think of
Nathan
being placed
in a home
And
all the
medicine
you fed us
And
how
I
just
wanted you to
taste
your own
but
Now
the
medication's
taken over
And
your mental state's
deteriorating slow
And
I'm
way too old
to
cry,
the
****'s
painful
though
But
Ma,
I forgive
you,
so does
Nathan,
yo
All you did
all you said
You
did
your best
to raise us both
foster care
that
cross
you bear
Few
may be
as heavy as
yours
But
I
love you
Debbie
Mathers
What a
tangled
web
we
have,
'cause
One thing
I
never asked
was
Where
the
my
deadbeat dad
was
It
I guess
he had trouble
Keeping up with
every address
But
I'd
have
flipped
every mattress
Every rock
and
desert cactus
Owned
a collection of
maps
and
followed
my kids
To the edge
of the atlas
If
someone ever
moved 'em
from me
That
you
could've bet
your asses
If
I had
to
come down
the chimney
dressed as
Santa
Kidnap
them
And
although
one has
only
met their
grandma
Once
you
pulled up
in our drive
one night
As we were
leaving
to get some
hamburgers
Me
her
and
Nate
we
introduced you
hugged you
And
as you left
I had
this overwhelming
sadness
Come over
me
As
we
pulled off
to go
our separate paths
and
I saw
your headlights
as i looked back
And
I'm mad
I
didn't
get the chance
to
Thank you
for being
my Mom
and
my Dad
So
Mom
please accept
this
as a tribute
I
wrote this
on the jet
I guess
I had
to
get
this
off my chest
I hope
I
get the chance
to
lay it
before i'm dead
The stewardess
said to
fasten
my seatbelt
I guess
we're
crashing
So
if
I'm
not dreaming
I hope
you
get this message
That
I
will always love
you
from afar
'Cause
you're my
mom
I guess
we are
who we are
Headlights
shining
in the dark
night
I
drive on
Maybe
we
took
this
too far
I want a
new life
