Adam Whitehead - Single Mom (feat. Dalles Jacobus) Lyrics

She didn't want em to grow up
In a broken busted up home
Where the rent can barely be paid
And you pray the lights'll turn on

No she didn't want em to grow up
But she works the best that she can
For a two bed one bath section 8 place new paint old table no dad

And pinchin' every quarter every dollar every day that goes by
The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that bought her into this complex life
And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way for the road god put her on
Single mom

No she couldn't do it on her own
Sure takes a village to raise a kid
It Took some damn good friends and a little luck
To do it like she did

And she couldn't afford all the nicer things
But she gave 'em more love than they could ever need
And daddy never stepped up in the end
So she was mom and dad and their best friend

Pinchin every quarter every dollar every day that goes by
The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that got her into this complex life
And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way on the road god put her on
Single mom

She's only missed church twice since May of '17 prays they don't turn around and do the same damn thing

And pinchin every quarter every dollar every day that goes by
The Coulda woulda shoulda beens every teenage sin that bought her into this complex life
And at the end of the day she done her best to pave a way for the road god put her on
Single mom
