Songtext Mother Walker Hayes

Mother

Time flies like a teenage heartbeat
Feels like we were seventeen last night
Now you're fightin' with your kids in the car seat
They ain't got my eyes like I thought they might
Every day, kinda wonder where you're headed
In your life, in your Lululemon
Smile and wave at you on the way to work
Like it don't, but the truth is it hurts like a

Mother, see you runnin' 'round town in your 4Runner
Drivin' with your babies in the back
Say you always wanted one named Jack
Kinda love and hate to see you like that
It's a bummer
Every other red light, I wonder if you wonder
If you'd do it different if you could
You a bad ex to have in the small-town woods, but damn
Always knew you'd make a real good mother

I guess your future turned out fine without me in it
Still amazed how fast I heard wedding bells
Cemetery's 'bout to get me six feet in it
Watchin' you play house with someone else
Down the street, so I can't ignore it
Only got one regret, and you're it
I'll shake his hand like it's nothin' at church
Bow my head, prayin', "Lord, this hurts like a"

Mother, see you runnin' 'round town in your 4Runner
Drivin' with your babies in the back
Say you always wanted one named Jack
Kinda love and hate to see you like that
It's a bummer
Every other red light, I wonder if you wonder
If you'd do it different if you could
You a bad ex to have in the small-town woods, but damn
Always knew you'd make a real good mother

Saw your dreams came true
Shoulda held onto you

It's a, it's a, it's a bummer
Every other red light, I wonder if you wonder
If you'd do it different if you could
You a bad ex to have in the small-town woods, but damn
Always knew you'd make a real good mother
