Mothers Pay More

come gather ' round
i' ll only tell you once

my baby had
all of the evidence
and i' m so glad
that she can fill her lungs

but you won' t believe it, no

i' m awful glad
that when we go on tour
i always know
my mother will pay more

but you won' t believe it, no

days go by
and you won' t get no fatter, no

pages flying
into a little pile on the floor

days go by
and you' re as straight as a senator

but you won' t believe it, no

days go by
and you won' t get no fatter, no

pages flying
into a little pile on the floor

breezing by
everyone in town tonight

i' m awful glad
that we can go on tour

i' m awful glad
my mother will pay more

but you won' t believe it, no
