My Name Can't Be Mama Lyrics

Things are gettin' better
But right now it's not looking great
My ceiling still is spinning
From a night that went too late
I used to sleep this off
And let the shame just melt away
But not for tiny feet in hallways
Calling my name

It's not that I don't love you
I wouldn't touch the hands of time
It's not that I don't long feel
Your tiny hand in mine
I'm not a perfect woman, Lord
I don't wish it all away
My name can't be Mama today

Today I didn't listen
To the voice inside my head
I peeled out of the driveway
Left my family in bed
Know it wouldn't be easier
To just quit the road and stay home
I'd lose myself inside the halls Unsatisfied and alone

Sometimes all I want
Is to run back to you at night
To rock you to sleep
Keep the blues out of your eyes
I'm not that kind of woman
That throw it all away
And my name can't be Mama today

I drive my mother crazy
Out here traveling the world
Free-wheelin' in the city
I'm a solitary girl
I'm living in the moment
Knowin' there might come a day
But my name can't be Mama today

It's not that I don't want to
I just don't want to today
I'm not a fan of mornings
And I love my chardonnay
No, I'm not saying never
I won't wish it all away
But my name can't be Mama today
My name can't be Mama today
