Mother and daughter fighting it out

Who's gonna stay home tonight

Who wears the make up, hangs on the phone

It always seems to end in a fight

It don't seem long since momma was a child bride

She got married in a hurry

Sixteen years old on the day

Ooh what a wedding, driving 'til dawn

With a rock n' roll band to play

She wore black when daddy gave the the bride away

There's a generation rumble

A war between two worlds

Givin' momma lots of trouble

Baby's getting married when she's still her daddy's little girl

Now the years roll in and the family brings

Big changes onto the scene

Sweet sixteen's turned thirty four

But boy, she's still that same little queen

Life's full of trips and she's gonna follow every dream

And it's a generation rumble

A war between two worlds

Givin' momma lots of trouble

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

Mother and daughter fighting it out

Who's gonna get their own way

Doctor says, "Take it easy now

Take two of these every day."

Doctor, doctor, you can throw your pills away

It's just a generation rumble

A war between two worlds

Givin' momma lots of trouble

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

It's just a generation rumble

A war between two worlds

Givin' momma lots of trouble

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl

Baby's grown up, but momma's still the same old girl
