Linda Smith - "Ode To A Modernday Mother"
Ode To A Modernday Mother

(verse 1)
The day starts at 6am
As I brush the sleep from my eyes
I work out as I feel the sweat
Running down my back
And I start the tub and wake you
Then its breakfast and we go our separate ways

(pre - chorus)

and today is like yesterday
cept we got up late
and I told you that I loved you
as I walked out the door

cause I gotta go to work today
I gotta pay the bills
I gotta go to work today

(verse 2)
All day long I run around
And on a good day Im ahead
I write a list of all the things
That need to be done
Before I go to bed

Cause after work I have to run to the store
And pick up the things that we need
Then I make supper and pick up around the house
And mop the bathroom floor

(chorus)

(bridge)
and I used to have a second job
and thats where Id be
if I hadnt quit
so we sit and watch tv till we go to bed
at least we saw eachother today

(chorus out)
