The Motherlode Lyrics

It's another day in the life of hitting the jackpot

Up before dawn with an elbow to the face

Your little man don't feel good, he's crying beside you

Got a husband sound asleep while you're wide awake

But, you wouldn't trade a minute

Even for a longer night sleep

No, you wouldn't take a million

Even when the shit gets deep

You prayed for it

You're made for it

Couldn't wait another day for it

When the hardest job's the one you love the most

That's how you know

You hit the motherlode

Eighteen years fly by just like a minute

Now he's forcing down the hatch of his hand-me-down Chevrolet

Your heart starts feeling a lot like his empty bedroom

When his tail lights disappear, you wonder how you'll ever be okay

But, you wouldn't trade a minute

Even for a longer night sleep

No, you wouldn't take a million

Even when the shit gets deep

You prayed for it

You're made for it

Couldn't wait another day for it

When the hardest job's the one you love the most

Girl, that's how you know

You hit the motherlode

You got a hundred things to tell 'em, but you know they won't listen

Then one day they call to ask for your advice

You know you made a lot of mistakes

Oh, but mama, you must have done something right

And you wouldn't trade a minute

Even for a longer night sleep

No, you wouldn't take a million

Even when the shit gets deep

You prayed for it

You're made for it

Couldn't wait another day for it

When the hardest job's the one you love the most

Oh, that's how you know

Girl, you hit the motherlode

Yeah, you hit the motherlode

Yeah, girl, you prayed for it

You're made for it

Couldn't wait another day for it

You hit the motherlode
