War of Art

[Verse 1]
I've argued with the achin'
But your momma's heart is breakin'
And frankly I've grown weary of this pace
You know that I love you
I’d never put no one above you
But I've got dreams I've gotta chase

[Chorus]
I've heard it all before:
"Singin' to a whiskey-soaked dance floor
"Ain't no job for a mother and a wife"
So I try to do things right
But at what cost is it worth the fight?
I just couldn't let that war take my life

[Verse 2]
You'll learn as you get older
From baby to beholder
Just how your momma soared above the shame
I'll be the bigger person
Despite one-sided cursin'
That I'm the only one to blame

[Chorus]
I've heard it all before:
"Singin' to a whiskey-soaked dance floor
"Ain't no job for a mother and a wife"
So I try to do things right
But at what cost is it worth the fight?
I just couldn't let that war take my life

[Verse 3]
So I'm gonna go against what was planned
I know you may not understand
But I'd rather do it now than rust or rot
My passion is a cancer
And I can't cure it or find the answer
'Til I go and give it all I've got
So I'm gonna go and give it all I've got
