Mother

Mother, you're so beautiful
You always dream of a better life
Even if poverty isn't for you
But work makes you feel so damn tired

Mother, you're so beautiful
You always dream of a better life
Even if poverty isn't for you
But work makes you feel so damn tired

So, you make a new dress
And you step out in style
To Santa Maria Beach
To celebrate a wedding

You make a new dress
And you step out in style
To Santa Maria Beach
To celebrate a wedding

Mother, in the big city
You find peace in the sacrament
If no one knows about it
Dad's just full of disappointment

Mother, in the big city
You find peace in the sacrament
Only the scars of your struggles
Leave you in suffering

Mother doesn't want what’s for her
She just keeps pushing through
What the North gives her is little for her
And she says I'm feeling so damn worn out

Mother doesn't want what’s for her
She just keeps pushing through
What the North gives her is little for her
And she says I'm feeling so damn worn out

So, you make a new dress
And you step out in style
To Santa Maria Beach
To celebrate a wedding

You make a new dress
And you step out in style
To Santa Maria Beach
To celebrate a wedding

Mother, in the big city
You find peace in the sacrament
If no one knows about it
Dad's just full of disappointment

Mother, in the big city
You find peace in the sacrament
Only the scars of your struggles
Leave you in suffering

Mother, in the big city, oh
You step out to the dance floor
You step out to the dance floor
