Lyrics

Well, did you do something for yourself, mom?
And get the hell out of the house
Well, would you do something for your son, mom?
And stop taking all these pills
'Cause it's cold in december and there's reason to stay in
And I want to see you when you're on the deck of that ship
Yeah, you're sailing away and the sun looks right on your face
Without a reason to believe in something
You can do most anything
Well, that's what you told me someplace
But I can't remember when
It was a long time ago
Maybe the first day of school or going to visit dad
I was scared but you told me I'd come home if I wanted
I was only nine but I went
So, go on and make your families proud
Just like you always do
Just like they want you to
My old girlfriend's studying medicine
Would you save my life is I got sick?
Haven't seen you in a while. how have you been?
Of course if you had the right insurance for it
And I think if we got back together again
You know, give it a run, you know
You were my first love
You're very drunk and we were very young
Plus I'm going to see this guy and it might be love
Yeah, I think he might be the one
If you get married can I come? I gotta see this
Well, go on and dig your holes in this ground
Yeah, go on and lay your tired bodies down
Just like you're going to. just like they expect you to
And I've been thinking about moving away
Now that we've had this talk, I definitely may
Well, now go on and break your word and it'll break me down
And I'll go on and I'll break every last thing in this house
Just like I'm going to. just like you expect me to
Now go on and make your family proud
Now go on and stake your claim to this ground
Now go on and take that last dream down
And it'll get you through
What did they put you through?
