lyrics

Mother's Worry © Chris Desjardins
(chorus:)
I'm my mother's worry
In a desperate hurry
To get my story told
I can always find a mark
Even in the dark
Now I'm a winner in this sorry game.

I'd like to be laying out in my own backyard
Smellin bacon from the kitchen in summer
But my house is in a suitcase
Scar from the preacher's razor on my face
No matinee idols in my rearview mirror
You've got rocks in your head from drinkin too much beer
Drive-In movie's your home away from home
Drunk in the mornin blood's cold to the bone.

My life story's in a spiral notebook
Teenage hitchhiker ya wanna take a look?
See all the dreams I forsook

I'm my mother's worry
Can't hold a job
All I do is lie and rob
I'm my mother's worry
I can sign the check
My family's like my car
A beat-up wreck

Why is the earth so flat
When I walk the floor at night?
I'm gonna sail off the edge
Before early mornin's light
Pull the needle from your sleepin arm
On our wedding night

Sheriff breathin down our necks
Small town talkin about two kids
"They're playin with a timebomb called sex!"

I'm my mother's worry
In a desperate hurry
To get my story told
I can always find a mark
Even in the dark
Now I'm a winner in this sorry game.
(solo)
Married to a sinner
Who used to be a winner
Now she's got no last name
I'm my mother's worry,
Gotta get my story told
I don't wanna have to sell my soul!

I'm my mother's worry
In a desperate hurry
To get my story told
I can always find a mark
Even in the dark
Now I'm a loser in this sorry game.
