Ma & Pa

[Verse 1]
"Am I dying or already dead?"
Replaying old words that Pa once said
I thank him for the tough love, though
He taught me how to fight and how to sew

"Am I living or just alive?" oh
Replaying old words that Ma once said
I thank her for the love she gave to me
She taught me how to read and how to sing

[Chorus]
I wonder what they're doing right now
Do they love each other the same?
Do they claim me as their daughter?
I guess I'll love them anyway

[Verse 2]
Do they play tunes on the front porch?
Sippin' on bourbon and sweet tea
What do they say to the neighbor on the left when she asks about me?
Do they smile when they see my name when the phone rings?

I wonder what they're doing right now
I wonder if they're talking 'bout me
Is Papa sitting in his rocking chair?
Is Mama combing out her long gray hair?

[Chorus]
I wonder what they're doing right now
Do they love each other the same?
Do they claim me as their daughter?
I guess I'll love them anyway

[?]
I wonder what they're doing right now
I wonder if they're talkin' 'bout me?
Does Daddy tuck Mom in at night
And wipe her tears when she cries?

[Outro?]
I know I'm far away
I know I'm gonna see y'all someday
I know I'm far away
I know I'm gonna see y'all someday, yeah
I know I'm gonna see y'all someday, yeah

I guess I'll love them anyway
I guess I'll love them anyway
