lyrics

Am I dying or already dead
Replaying old words that Pa once said
I thank him for that tough love though
He taught me to fight and how to sew

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

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 love them anyway

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 about me
Is mama combing out her grey hair
Is papa sitting in his rocking chair

I wonder what they’re doing right now
If they love each other the same
Do they claim me as their daughter
I’ll still love them anyway

I wonder if they look the same
Sitting on the porch watching summer rain
Does papa tuck mama in at night
And wipes away her tears when she cries

I know I’m far away
But I know I’m gonna see y’all someday
I know I’m far away
But I know I’m gonna see y’all someday
I guess I’ll love them anyway
I guess I’ll love them anyway
