Mom went into labor in the middle of the night Had my dad worried but I came out right And his cold hand trembled as he cut the cord And he drove us both home in a beat-up Ford But nobody asked me Nobody asked me They sprinkled water on my baby head They made some claims about the dead Repeated words the ancients said They drank some wine, they broke some bread But nobody asked me Nobody asked me The morning sun is gonna wake me Herb from the garden gonna bake me No fast talker gonna take me anymore I used to be a sharp young thing Had a belle waiting for a ring She was just a stop along my way An umbrella for my rainy day Well I unlace my boots I pour a glass of wine I turn the day over in my mind Was I just a stop along her way Some cheap shades for a sunny day? The morning sun is gonna wake me Herb from the garden gonna bake me No fast talker gonna take me anymore
