Mom and Dad's Waltz #2 Songtext
von Kacy & Clayton

A welfare mom and a farewell dad
And a child they never meant to have
Taking turns with empty arms
Tryna keep that baby safe from harm
Dad took a job to work up north
And he won′t get back 'til November 4th
Mother holds her breath ′til rent is due
Praying that his check goes through


His grandma gets him on Sundays
Then back to mother's on Mondays
Always playing with a different set of toys
Seems like a dream for a little boy
No good soul should live that way
With a different parent every day
Waking up and never knowing
To which crib they will be going

That child's been crying bitter tears
As he′s passed around for years and years
Never knowing how it feels to stay
When he learns to walk, he′ll walk away
And they all will wonder what they've done
To raise up such a troubled son
All they have to do is take a look
Into that grown man′s baby book
