Mother’s Genes

[Verse 1]
Driving down country lanes
Seventy miles an hour
Windows down, sun on my face
It felt like the world was ours

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I was scared or sad or lonely
You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof
You showed me how to stand on my own feet
When I was falling into the blue

[Chorus]
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes

[Verse 2]
And you gave me the world in your hands, even when I didn't understand
And you made me the woman I am, so if you're ever—
If I could walk a day in your jeans with every frail and broken seam
I'd be the best the world has seen

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you're ever scared or sad or lonely
You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof
You showed me how to stand on my own feet
When I was falling into the blue

[Chorus]
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes

[Bridge]
She said it will be okay while wiping the tears from her face
But I can feel her pain now that I'm grown
If I was born and raised a million miles away
You'll be the familiar place I'll always call home

[Chorus]
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
