| It was somethin' as simple as makin' the bed
|
| That kicked off the voice inside her head
|
| She was smoothin' the sheet with the palm of her hand
|
| When the thought struck home, I don’t know who I am
|
| And she sat cross legged on the bedroom floor
|
| And thought there’s three people in this house
|
| That don’t need me anymore
|
| And she cried like a baby in a pile of dirty clothes
|
| Oh, should I be more carefree? |
| Should I be more sexy?
|
| Should I be more friend than mom?
|
| And the dryer was buzzin', and the TV was blarin'
|
| And she wanted to call her mama
|
| It was somethin' as simple as just checkin' in
|
| To that cheap motel out on Highway 10
|
| Was it the sting of leavin' or usin' her maiden name
|
| That took all of the fun out of runnin' away?
|
| And she cried like a baby in the tub of room 5
|
| Oh, should I be more carefree? |
| Should I be more sexy?
|
| Should I be more friend than mom?
|
| And her head was buzzin', and the TV was blarin'
|
| And she wanted to call her husband
|
| It was somethin' as simple as pickin' up the kids
|
| That brought her back to Earth again
|
| She’d been to the dark side of the moon
|
| And she had to keep it to herself
|
| She grabbed a bucket of chicken for supper
|
| Oh, but she looked more carefree, and she looked more sexy
|
| And she looked more friend than mom
|
| The table talk, it was buzzin', and the TV, it was blarin'
|
| And they all sat and laughed at each other
|
| It was somethin' as simple as not givin' up
|
| And eight crazy hours in the story of love |
