Single Mom (Unplugged) 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
