Bottle by My Bed

All my friends are raising babies I'm still raising cane They must think because I've waited that I don't want the same Their days are spent changing diapers They think mine are so exciting Running off to where the lights are so much brighter It's an empty room at the top of the stairs Watching the evening news with a couple of beers I only call my husband baby cause I love the word Never wanted something so bad that it hurts Even give up these damned ol' cigarettes If I could have a bottle by my bed Only bed time story is a 'People' magazine I'd rather be in a carpool line than this big cold limousine I'd trade every pair of high heel shoes for a highchair in the dining room Don't even know you yet, but I know I love you It's an empty room at the top of the stairs Watching the evening news with a couple of beers I only call my husband baby cause I love the word Never wanted something so bad that it hurts Even give up these damnes ol' cigarettes If I could have a bottle by my bed We wait We wait It'll be our turn someday Spend a lot of afternoons daydreaming 'bout you Right now our mortgage is the only thing that's due It's an empty room at the top of the stairs Watching the evening news with a couple of beers I only call my husband baby cause I love that word Never wanted something so bad that it hurts Even give up these damned ol' cigarettes If I could have a bottle by my bed Bottle by my bed We wait
