Am I dying or already dead Replaying old words that Pa once said I thank him for that tough love though He taught me to fight and how to sew Am I living or just alive Replaying old words that Ma once said I love her for the love she gave to me She taught me to read and sing I wonder what they're doing right now Do they love each other the same Do they claim me as their daughter I guess I love them anyway Do they play tunes on the front porch Sippin on bourbon and sweet tea What do they say to the neighbor on the left when she asks about me Do they smile when they see my name when the phone rings I wonder what they're doing right now I wonder if they're talking about me Is mama combing out her grey hair Is papa sitting in his rocking chair I wonder what they're doing right now If they love each other the same Do they claim me as their daughter I'll still love them anyway I wonder if they look the same Sitting on the porch watching summer rain Does papa tuck mama in at night And wipes away her tears when she cries I know I'm far away But I know I'm gonna see y'all someday I know I'm far away But I know I'm gonna see y'all someday I guess I'll love them anyway I guess I'll love them anyway
