You dropped me off for my first day of school
|
Six years old and had to learn new rules
|
I didn't know what I was walking into
|
I turned around and waved goodbye to you
|
When you left me I remembered you
|
Told me when the lunch bell rings at noon
|
And I'm through with Twinkie number two
|
I'd be half a day away from you
|
|
Half a day away from you
|
Mom you always know what to do
|
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue
|
Half a day away from you
|
|
Twenty years and half a million miles
|
A lot of tears and 'bout as many smiles
|
Gettin' by with life the way I do
|
Gettin' paid to sing and play for you
|
I bought a Twinkie at an old truckstop
|
Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped
|
I said "Hey Mama" when the call went through
|
"I'm only half a day away from you"
|
|
Half a day away from you
|
Mamas always know what to do
|
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue
|
Half a day away from, half a day away from you
|
