Mothers and Sons

[Verse 1]
From Jordan to Jesus, from red dirt to Rome
Born into arms that never let go
Breast to the bottle and heart to the bone
That's how it starts between mothers and sons
Grass stains and stickers and noses on sleeves
Steppin' on Hot Wheels and losin' her keys
Time's never patient and dishes aren't done
Work's never over for mothers and sons

[Chorus]
Ah, where the wild things are
Ooh, wishin' on Silverstein stars
Ah, there's them and there's us
Ah, mothers and sons

[Verse 2]
Outgrow the blue jeans and outgrow the bike
So he turns up the music and tears up the drive
He thinks he's old enough, but she thinks he's too young
And that's just one difference in mothers and sons

[Chorus]
Ah, where the wild things are
Ooh, wishin' on Silverstein stars
Ah, there's them and there's us
Ah, mothers and sons

[Bridge]
Well, he ain't got her backbone, but he's got her eyes
And if he's got her heart, then he'll realize
That love is a porch light that's always left on
And never burns out between mothers and sons

[Chorus]
Ah, where the wild things are
Ooh, wishin' on Silverstein stars
Ah, there's them and there's us
Ah, mothers and sons
Ah, mothers and sons
