I've argued with the achin' But your momma's heart is breakin' And frankly I've grown weary of this pace You know that I love you I'd never put no one above you But I've got dreams I've gotta chase I've heard it all before: "Singin' to a whiskey-soaked dance floor "Ain't no job for a mother and a wife" So I try to do things right But at what cost is it worth the fight? I just couldn't let that war take my life You'll learn as you get older From baby to beholder Just how your momma soared above the shame I'll be the bigger person Despite one-sided cursin' That I'm the only one to blame I've heard it all before: "Singin' to a whiskey-soaked dance floor "Ain't no job for a mother and a wife" So I try to do things right But at what cost is it worth the fight? I just couldn't let that war take my life So I'm gonna go against what was planned I know you may not understand But I'd rather do it now than rust or rot My passion is a cancer And I can't cure it or find the answer 'Til I go and give it all I've got So I'm gonna go and give it all I've got
