Mama’s Front Door (Commentary)

Your momma's front door scared the hell out of me

Marchin' up to it, just barely sixteen

They said, "Be back by ten", and at nine fifty-four

I kissed you goodnight at your momma's front door

You'd sneak me in, and I'd sneak you out

And we'd cuss that hinge for bein' too loud

That time we broke up, I'm forgettin' now what for

But I 'bout broke down your momma's front door

Today it just hit me, that I got some history

With every square inch of that faded brick porch

It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now

And it just keeps changing a little bit more

Every time I show up at your momma's front door

Yeah, I've left some flowers, on that welcome mat

Showed up unannounced for a talk with your dad

It wasn't a mystery what I was there for

But he gave me his blessing, at your momma's front door

Today it just hit me, that I got some history

With every square inch of that faded brick porch

It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now

And it just keeps changing a little bit more

Every time I show up at your momma's front door

Oh, whoa, whoa

At your momma's front door

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm at your momma's front door

I had to knock with my knee

Got three crazy kid hangin' all over me

When I sat 'em down, my heart fell through the floor

Watching 'em run through your momma's front door

Your life just keeps changing just a little bit more

Every time I show up at your momma's front door
