Mama

Maybe one day I won’t play piano in smoky roadhouse bars
Maybe one day I won’t wake up in the backseat of my car
Maybe one day you’ll forgive me for drinkin before noon
Maybe one day I’ll grow up, but Mama it won’t be soon

Maybe one day I’ll stop hidin out on the two-lane roads
Maybe one day my music won’t carry such a heavy load
Maybe one day I’ll start singin and it’ll be a happy tune
Maybe one day I’ll grow up, but Mama it won’t be soon

Maybe one day I’ll stop fallin in love with tragic girls
Maybe one day I’ll get married and she’ll wear a string of pearls
You can walk me down the isle on a sunny day in June
Maybe one day I’ll grow up, but Mama it won’t be soon

Maybe one day I won’t drink bourbon every single night
Yea I know that’s what grandma did and it just didn’t treat her right
Maybe on day I’ll wake up and my life won’t be a ruin
Maybe one day I’ll grow up, but Mama it won’t be soon

Maybe one day I’ll get tired of fallin off bar stools
Maybe one day I’ll buy a house with a porch and an in-ground pool
Maybe one day I won’t get drunk and howl at the moon
Maybe one day I’ll grow up, but Mama it won’t be soon

Mama I still cut my toast the way you taught me to
I still brush my teeth, even when I forget to
I still find a river to bathe in the afternoon
Maybe one day I’ll visit you, but Mama it won’t be soon
