Mom I know I let you down and though you say the days are happy
Why is the power off and I'm fucked up?
And Mom I know he's not around
But don't you place the blame on me
As you pour yourself another drink yeah
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
I went in headfirst never thinking about
Who what I said hurt in what verse
My mom probably got it the worst
The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are
Did I take it too far? cleaning out my closet and all them other songs
But regardless I don't hate you 'cos Ma
You're still beautiful to me 'cos you're my mom
Though far be it from you to be calm our house was Vietnam
Desert Storm and both of us put together can
Form an atomic bomb equivalent to chemical warfare
And forever we can drag this on and on but agree to disagree
That gift from me up under the
Christmas tree don't mean
Shit to me you're kicking me out?
It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve little prick just leave
Ma let me grab my fucking coat
Anything to have each other's goats
Why we always at each other's throats?
Especially when dad he fucked us both
We're in the same fucking boat you'd think that it'd make us close
Further away it drove us but together headlights shine a
Car full of belongings still got a ways to go
Back to Grandma's house it's straight up the road
And I was the man of the house the oldest
So my shoulders carried the weight of the load
Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight years old
And that's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't
Fixable or changeable and to this day
We remained estranged and I hate it though but
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
'Cos to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
'Cos you ain't even get to witness your grand babies grow
But I'm sorry mama for cleaning out my
Closet at the time
I was angry
Rightfully maybe so never meant that far to take it though 'cos
Now I know it's not your fault and I'm not making jokes
That song I no longer play at shows and
I cringe every time it's on the radio
And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
And all the medicine you fed us
And how I just wanted you to taste your own
But now the medications taken over
And your mental state's deteriorating slow
And I'm way too old to cry the shit is painful though
But Ma I forgive you so does Nathan yo
All you did all you said you did your best to raise us both
Foster care that cross you bear few may be as heavy as yours
But I love you
Debbie Mathers oh what a tangled web we have
'Cos one thing I never asked was
Where the fuck my deadbeat dad was?
Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address
But I'd have flipped every mattress every rock and desert cactus
Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the Atlas
Someone ever moved them from me? that you coulda bet your asses
If I had to come down the chimney dressed as
Santa kidnap them
And although one has only met their Grandma once
You pulled up in our drive one night
As we were leaving to get some hamburgers
Me her and Nate we introduced you hugged you
And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me
As we pulled off to go our separate paths
And I saw your headlights as I looked back
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to
Thank you for being my
Mom and my Dad
So Mom please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet
I guess I had to get this off my chest
I hope I get the chance to lay it 'fore I'm dead
The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt
I guess we're crashing
So if I'm not dreaming
I hope you get this message that I
Will always love you from afar 'cos you're my Ma
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
I want a new life
One without a cause so I'm coming home tonight well no matter what the cost
And if the plane goes down and the crew can't wake me up
Well just know that I'm alright
I was not afraid to die
Oh even if there's songs to sing well my children will carry me
Just know that I'm alright
I was not afraid to die
Because I put my faith in my little girls
So I never say goodbye cruel world
Just know that I'm alright
I was not afraid to die
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
I want a new life
