Dig little digger, don't be shy
You saw your mother
With another guy
You think you'll tell her
That she's one of a kind
You say "my mother is mine"
You put your trucks up
On the bed next to him
So he can get a better look at them
You say
"This one's my favorite one
This one you can't have
I got it from my dad"
You say
"I got it from my dad"
Now you're thinking
Little thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean
When something changes how
It's always been?
And in your head
You keep repeating the line
"My mother is mine"
I've done the damage
The damage is done
I pray to God
That I'm the damaged one
And all these grown up complications
That you don't understand
I hope you can
Some day, I hope you can
And now you're thinking little
Thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean
When something changes how
It's always been
And in your head
You keep repeating the line
"My mother is mine"
And now you're thinking little thoughts about it
Taking every inch of him in
What does it mean
When something changes
How it's always been?
And in your head
You keep repeating the line
"My mother is mine"
