Hey, Mom, the world's kinda fucked up
And I really didn't think that I'd be sad this much but I -
Guess bein' happy is just easier said than done
Hey, Mom
Went to a wedding last week
Watched my best friend get married
She was the girl of his dreams
They'll probably start a fam-i-ly
Can't lie, I feel a little guilty
Wondering "When'll that be me?"
Gettin' tired of hearin' Mama say
"When you gonna give me grandbabies?"

Hey, Mom
Don't tell Dad I'm gettin' fucked up
Cuz he wouldn't like it if he knew
That I had to
Take pills to make it through
Hey, Mom

Hey, Mom
Bought a house that I can't afford
Cuz all my buddies said it's better to be poor than livin' with my parents
Since I just turned 27
Can't lie, it's nice to have a home where I can sit around and write these songs
But tell me what's the use in
Having no one to share it with?
