Lyrics
You're thirty five years old, still live at home with mom
You've got eight years of college, but you're still lookin for a full time job
Your Sunday morning paper route doesn't pay enough to let you move out
And your mom says since your dad's gone you're the man of the house
You never got along with your dad, because he just couldn't understand
Why the two of you were as different as night and day
And then when you were twenty five, and he suddenly died
You couldn't grieve because you almost felt relieved
[Chorus]
You know your momma loves you, you're the only thing she has
After ten years she still isn't over the loss of your dad
And when she comes and crawls in your bed in the middle of the night
Your guilt won't let you tell her what she's doin' isn't right
The first time that it happened was the night your daddy died
You lay down beside her and held her while she cried
But one thing lead to another and before you realized
The two of you were locked in a forbidden embrace you couldn't stop if you tried
