mother couldn't love me
but that didn't stop me
from liking her
she was my mom
and i was no son of a bitch

daddy was a drunk
a most unpleasant man
asleep on the floor
just inside the front door
with a smile underneath his red nose

the wrong look his way
well that could really wreck his day
and believe me when i say
it would wreck your day too

grandma took me in
though times were pretty thin
said i was no son of a bitch

down on my knees
begging god please
