Mother's Genes (Piano Version)

Driving down country lanes

Seventy miles an hour

Windows down, sun on my face

It felt like the world was ours

And when I was scared or sad or lonely

You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof

You showed me how to stand on my own feet

When I was falling into the blue

And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah

It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes

And you gave me the world in your hands, even when I didn't understand

And you made me the woman I am, so if you're ever—

If I could walk a day in your jeans with every frail and broken seam

I'd be the best the world has seen

So if you're ever scared or sad or lonely

You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof

You showed me how to stand on my own feet

When I was falling into the blue

And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah

It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes

She said it will be okay while wiping the tears from her face

But I can feel her pain now that I'm grown

If I was born and raised a million miles away

You'll be the familiar place I'll always call home

And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah

It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes

And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah

It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
