Lyrics Natalie Maines – Mother

Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they’ll like this song?
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
Oooh ahh, mother should I build the wall?

Mother should I run for President?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Oooh ahh, is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry.
Mama’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true.
Mama’s gonna put all of her fears into you.
Mama’s gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Oooh baby, oooh baby, oooh baby,
Of course mama’s gonna help build the wall.

Mother do you think she’s good enough, for me?
Mother do you think she’s dangerous, to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Oooh ah, mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry.
Mama’s gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama won’t let anyone dirty get through.
Mama’s gonna wait up ’til you get in.
Mama will always find out where you’ve been.
Mama’s gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Oooh baby, oooh baby, oooh baby,
You’ll always be baby to me.

Mother didn’t need to be so high…
