Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ridin' in the backseat, sippin' on a Pepsi
Lookin' out the window, drivin' to the bus stop
Together
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
And then we're gonna have a good time
When I come to get her
[Verse 2]
And I'll call her every single night
I'll miss her every day
But as she kissed me and waved goodbye
I could hear her say
[Verse 3]
"Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home"
[Verse 4]
I've been workin' late nights makin' up for the times
That I wasn't in the crowd cheerin' out loud
At her school plays
With tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
I just want her to know that I love her
More than workin' all day
[Verse 5]
But the price will never measure up
To what's inside a box
While I run her all around the world
She tells me to stop
[Verse 6]
And, "Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
[Verse 7]
We could play house and pretend
That tomorrow you won't be gone
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home"
[Verse 8]
Wishin' things were different
Doesn't change one memory
My little girl grew up
While I was too busy to see
Now she's become the one thing
That I could never be
[Verse 9]
A stay at home mother
Stay at home
A stay at home mother
Stay at home
[Verse 10]
She could have a house and a couple of kids
And never have to be alone
As a stay at home mother
Stay at home mother
Stay at home
