Lyrics
My Baby Done Ran Off With My Drunk Mama
It was women wine and song Now it's whiskey, beer, and whiskey
And it's risky but I'm gonna speak my mind
I can't hold back tears today Because it is your wedding day
And I'm sitting in the bar wasting time
Gals were a commodity I wore them like cheap jewelry
Until you came and put me in your spell
But then you looked down deep inside And found that you needed a bride
And you left me down in cheap beer chuggin Hell
Oh this modern world Everything's plum crazy
And some people are addicted to the drama
Well the craziness has come to me Gave me grief and misery
Cuz my baby done ran off with my drunk mama (repeat)
Took you to meet my momma Retired in Oklahoma
I knew deep down she'd love my perfect flower
She was lounging in her tube top And that's when I saw your jaw drop
You were sharing beer-breath kisses in an hour
The next week you had packed your bags Took the dinnerware and clean washrags
Moved into my momma's double-wide
Got mullet cuts and bought a cat Listened to Alanis Morrissette
While I hit the bottle hard and sat and cried
Chorus
I got a fluffy white invitation To a wedding celebration
To happen in the KC Hall near me
I smiled at the irony Of you and momma inviting me
I mailed you a pissed-stain RSVP
You're thinking I threw in the towel But gay marriage ain't exactly legal
So I called the cops and said they were getting blazed
But they arrived a little late Momma didn't show up for the date
Turns out she was just having a phase
