lyrics

Sit still and keep quiet kids
Cause momma's going out tonight
There is no blanket thick enough to keep me warm
Since your daddy left

The babysitter should be here by now
The babysitter should be here by now
It's momma's night to go out on the town
(And) live like she used to
Before you

It's not that momma doesn't love you
It's just surprising how fast life can change
Even though you weren't part of my plans
You're still the best mistakes I've ever made

I won't be home till very late tonight
So here's an extra twenty to tuck them in
And if they ask where I was
I was at their grandma's
Don't want my kids to know
Where momma's been

It's not that momma doesn't love you
It's just surprising how fast life can change
Even though you weren't part of my plans
You're still the best mistakes I've ever made

But I'll take care of you
No matter what
Unlike your coward for a father
