Single Mom (Acoustic) ft. Dalles Jacobus Lyrics

She didn't want em to grow up. 

In a broken, busted up home. 

Where the rent can barely be paid 

And you pray the lights'll turn on. 

No she didn't want em to grow up 

But she works the best that she can. 

For a two bed, one bath section 8 place, new paint, old table, no dad. 

And pinchin' every quarter, every dollar, every day that goes by. 

The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that bought her into this complex life. 

And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way for the road god put her on. 

Single mom. 

No she couldn't do it on her own 

Sure takes a village to raise a kid

It Took some damn good friends and a little luck

To do it like she did 

And she couldn't afford all the nicer things 

But she gave 'em more love than they could ever need

And daddy never stepped up in the end 

So she was mom and dad and their best friend 

pinchin every quarter, every dollar, every day that goes by. 

The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that got her into this complex life. 

And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way on the road god put her on. 

Single mom. 

She's only missed church twice since May of '17. prays they don't turn around and do the same damn thing. 

And pinchin every quarter, every dollar, every day that goes by. 

The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that bought her into this complex life. 

And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way for the road god put her on. 

Single mom.
