Under the sun
High above the water
When the morning is done
I think about you all of the time when you're gone
Your mama's making dinner and
Dad's coming in
He's been drinking again and I know
It's no fun
(when your parents are fighting and it's)
No fun
(when you're thinking about what you mean)
To someone
Baby girl, I'm here to tell ya
You can be whatever you wanna be
On those days
When you're tired and you don't wanna be bothered
After yet another battle with your father
Girl I know it's never easy
But I'm happy to see
That you're keeping it clean on your part
I'll fold clothes as you study for your final
(and I'll be there for you, even when the weather is cold)
All you want is to put it all behind ya
(No matter what they do, they can never tear us apart)
It's hard
(When your mama is callin' and it)
Gets hard
(When you're thinking about all the things)
You don't want
Baby girl, I'm here to tell ya
I'll be there the day you get your degree
(Dig this)
So one day
You can buy that Lamborghini for your mama
She gon' pull up on them haters like Obama
Put your daddy in a trailer far away and then you're finally free
(Cause he won't change)
You can focus on the life you really wanted
Find a job and buy a house right out of college
Girl I know it's never easy but I'm happy to see
That you're keeping it clean on your part
