Early early in the game [00:00:06]

I taught myself to sing and play [00:00:09]

And use a little trickery [00:00:12]

On kids who never favored me [00:00:15]

Those were years of crinoline slips [00:00:19]

And cotton skirts and swinging hips [00:00:22]

And dangerously painted lips [00:00:25]

And stars of stage and screen [00:00:28]

Pedal pushers ankle socks [00:00:32]

Padded bras and campus jocks [00:00:35]

Who hid their vernal equinox [00:00:38]

In pairs of faded jeans [00:00:41]

And slept at home resentfully [00:00:44]

Coveting their dreams [00:00:48]

And often have I wondered [00:00:54]

How the years and I survived [00:00:57]

I had a mother who sang to me [00:01:02]

An honest lullaby [00:01:06]

Yellow brown and black and white [00:01:14]

Our Father bless us all tonight [00:01:17]

I bowed my head at the football games [00:01:20]

And closed the prayer in Jesus' name [00:01:23]

Lusting after football heroes [00:01:27]

Tough Pachuco little Neroes [00:01:30]

Forfeiting my A's for zeroes [00:01:33]

Futures unforeseen [00:01:37]

Spending all my energy [00:01:40]

In keeping my virginity [00:01:43]

And living in a fantasy [00:01:46]

In love with Jimmy Dean [00:01:49]

If you will be my king Jimmy Jimmy [00:01:52]

I will be your queen [00:01:56]

And often have I wondered [00:02:02]

How the years and I survived [00:02:05]

I had a mother who sang to me [00:02:10]

An honest lullaby [00:02:13]

Yeah yeah [00:02:17]

I travelled all around the world [00:02:31]

And knew more than the other girls [00:02:34]

Of foreign languages and schools [00:02:38]

Paris Rome and Istanbul [00:02:41]

But those things never worked for me [00:02:44]

The town was much too small you see [00:02:47]

And people have a way of being [00:02:50]

Even smaller yet [00:02:54]

But all the same though life is hard [00:02:57]

And no one promised me a garden [00:03:00]

Of roses so I did okay [00:03:03]

I took what I could get [00:03:07]

And did the things that I might do [00:03:10]

For those less fortunate [00:03:13]

And often have I wondered [00:03:20]

How the years and I survived [00:03:22]

I had a mother who sang to me [00:03:28]

An honest lullaby [00:03:31]

Yeah yeah [00:03:35]

Now look at you you must be growing [00:03:39]

A quarter of an inch a day [00:03:42]

You've already lived near half the years [00:03:45]

You'll be when you go away [00:03:48]

With your teddy bears and alligators [00:03:51]

Enterprise communicators [00:03:55]

All the tiny aviators head into the sky [00:03:58]

And while the others play with you [00:04:04]

I hope to find a way with you [00:04:08]

And sometimes spend a day with you [00:04:11]

I'll catch you as you fly [00:04:14]

Or if I'm worth a mother's salt [00:04:17]

I'll wave as you go by [00:04:21]

And if you should ever wonder [00:04:27]

How the years and you'll survive [00:04:30]

Honey you've got a mother who sings to you [00:04:35]

Dances on the strings for you [00:04:39]

Opens her heart and brings to you [00:04:42]

An honest lullaby [00:04:45]

Yesh yeah yeah [00:04:49]
