Sorry mom & dad if the decisions I make are poor But I’ve got a taste for tequila & some weed in my sock drawer I’m not trying to get back at you & you didn’t raise me wrong I’m just tryna figure out this world & where the hell I belong I’m sorry mom & dad for bringing that last guy home & not listening when you said that he was an a**hole I know you don’t believe me when I say it won’t happen again You know I’ve got a habit of choosing narcissistic men I just wanna make you proud Get married by the time I’m thirty, have life figured out All I ever wanted was to tell you I made it So sorry mom & dad if I fell short of expectations Sorry mom & dad I keep on asking you for cash But unpaid gigs are all I’ve got while I still have class
& I promise I’ll get my degree, cause if that’s what’ll make you happy I’ll write papers til my fingers bleed I just wanna make you proud Have a sold-out show in my hometown & you standing in the crowd All I ever wanted was to tell you I made it So sorry mom & dad if I fell short of expectations I’m sorry cause I know the bar you set for me was higher & when you had a kid you weren’t expecting a wildfire But one day I’ll put my flames out & give you both a rest It may not seem like it right now, but I’m trying my best Sorry mom & dad that this is kind of a dumb song Cause you’ll tell me that you love me, even if I’m living wrong
