Song Description
I wanted to write a song that described how hard it is to be a single mom. There are so many things to do and take care of at one time. Just trying to keep your crazy from showing is hard. Just a moment in time - a long time ago...

Lyrics
SOUTHERN COMFORT
Copyright 2025 Diana Rasmussen
At work again wearing my plastic smile, if you ask me I'll say, 'everything's fine'
Secretly I'm screaming on the inside counting down the hours 'til quitting time
Buy my favorite pint on my way home Hide it in my purse until I'm alone
Waiting for the kids to go to sleep, Pour it on the rocks for a little peace
I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear
Turn over at night but no one's there
The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll
take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow
My daughter looks at me with those big brown eyes and asks, "Mommy why are you so sad?"
How do I tell her my heart is ice ever since her daddy left?
"Goodness gracious child, We're gonna be just fine,
now hurry up or we'll be late for school one more time"
I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear
Turn over at night but no one's there
The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll
take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow
It's 3 am and I'm still awake
How I wish I knew how to change
I cry in the shower I don't want the kids to hear
Turn over at night but no one's there
The tears on my pillow mark all my prayers so I'll
take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow
