The Day I Left The Womb

Mother, where are you today? -He's asking where she is...

You took a piece of me the day you went away -She took a piece of his heart and his life when she moved out of the house

No recollection or the smell of your perfume -Theres no trace of her anywhere

I took a piece of you the day I left the womb -But also he took a piece of her life the day he was born

Brother, put your needles down -He's telling his brother to stop doing drugs

The best thing for you is to leave this aweful town -It's probably a bad town, poor, and he wants him to leave

Pretty soon, you'll have kids to feed -It's his older brother and hes getting kind of old and will probably have kids someday

If you see mother, tell her I can sing -Once big brother leaves he might go looking for mother, so tell her he can sing!

Please don't worry, I am doing fine -He's trying to reassure her that they are doing fine without her

You're much too busy to even find the time -Trying to make her feel bad my saying she was too busy to raise her own children

So use your give and go's and take this to your grave -again trying to make her feel bad, so remember this until you die

The boys you left are men you didn't raise -She left her children, and now the little babies she left are now men she never got to raise

And Daddy, how are you today? -He's making his dad feel good

You must be proud of the boys you have raised -He should be proud of the boys that he has raised

Your withered heart and everything it's seen -Telling him he's getting pretty old

Your constant calices you had kids to feed -At least he stayed with his kids, and used his money to feed them but mother did not have kids to feed

You had kids to feed

Please don't worry, I am doing fine You're much too busy to even find the time So use your give and go's and take this to your grave The boys you left are men you didn't raise
