Hey Mama!


Martina McBride "Teenage Daughters"


I ain't complainin'
But I'm so tired, I'm just sayin'
What I think
And if we're being honest
Then honestly, I think I need a drink
My baby's growin' up
She thinks she's fallin' all in love
And that I hate her
At seventeen, she's just like me when I was seventeen
So I don't blame her

What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do about it?


Remember when we used to be
Everything they'd ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened overnight
We're always wrong, they're always right
We used to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers
Of teenage daughters

She rolls her eye's when I'm funny
But she's sweet when she wants money and her freedom
Oh my god, she's got a car
Swears they won't go far
And I wish I believed 'em


What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do about it?


Remember when we used to be
Everything they'd ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened overnight
We're always wrong, they're always right
We used to be the one breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers
Of teenage daughters

They're beautiful, wild, and free
Everything we wish we could be
But they're still crazy
Oh you know, they make us crazy

Remember when we used to be
Everything they'd ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened overnight
We're always wrong, they're always right
We used to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers
Of teenage daughters
Yeah
Teenage daughters

I ain't complainin'
But I'm so tired, I'm just sayin'
What I think
If we're bein' honest
Then honestly, I think I need a drink

Happy Mother's Day! I was fortunate enough to be able to spend at least half the day with my mom and grandma!
