She's got a heart-shaped tattoo on her finger
For Valentine's Day always there to remind her
'Cause that's her birthday, and mine's in November
I gotta tell her twice 'cause she never remembers
I had a cigarette with mom on the way to the airport
I had a cigarette with mom
Just a minute 'fore I dropped her off
It must've been hard taking care of yourself
Twenty-something single mom with no help
It must've been hard paying all of them bills
Growing up fast could never sit still
We got the same crooked smile and the same misfortune
Man, I hate to see her getting older
I had a cigarette with mom, I breathed it in, then it was gone
She asked if I could loan her some money
I gave her the little bit I had on me
And she said she'd pay me back, but I told her, "Don't worry"
'Cause I know what she's gonna blow it on anyway
It must've been hard taking care of yourself
Twenty-something single mom with no help
It must've been hard paying all of them bills
Growing up fast could never sit still
We got the same crooked smile and the same misfortune
Man, I hate to see her getting older
I had a cigarette with mom, I breathed it in, then it was gone
Then it was gone
So breathe it in
'Cause it might be the last time that we can
And the last time that we can
It must've been hard taking care of yourself
Twenty-something single mom with no help
It must've been hard paying all of them bills
Growing up fast could never sit still
We got the same crooked smile and the same misfortune
I hate to see her getting older
I had a cigarette with mom, I breathed it in, then it was gone
I had a cigarette with mom, I breathed it in, then it was gone
