Can I Come Home?

Stefanie Padgett

© 2002

Her brothers would climb on the bus

And she would beg to go

She would fight and fuss

That she was left alone

First day of school, pigtails and tears

All she learned is she didn’t want to be here

So she cried, Mama can I come home?

And mama said

Girl, I raised you I know you’re strong

You need to stay where you belong

I know that you can work it out

That’s what life is all about

She wanted to grow up fast

Couldn’t wait to be free

Though it couldn’t last

She thought it could be

She was young and didn’t know fear

All she learned is she didn’t want to be here

So she cried, Mama, can I come home?

And mama said

Girl, I raised you I know you’re strong

You need to stay where you belong

I know that you can work it out

That’s what life is all about

Through fights with her man

Kids driving her mad

A life she didn’t plan

She remembers what mama said

Girl, I raised you I know you’re strong

You need to stay where you belong

I know that you can work it out

That’s what life is all about
