[Verse 1] Little blonde boy had lost his head Not words but something he did Hot wheels car tucked away hiding You can't fool mom, she knows when you're lying [Pre Chorus] The look on her face melted his heart She was off to work and they had to part... [Chorus] I gotta tell her somehow, I'm sorry - but I don't know how At six already knew she was such a great mommy - but she's gone away now Be at school all day, heart melting away Gotta find a way to say... I'm sorry... but I don't know how... [Verse 2] Hatched a plan while waiting for the bus I'll go see mommy and I'll fix us Not her fault I was a sneaky kid I'll walk across town and fix what I did [Chorus] I gotta tell her somehow, I'm sorry - but I don't know how At six already knew she was such a great mommy - but she's gone away now Be at school all day, heart melting away Gotta find a way to say... [Verse 3] Snuck away when no one was looking Pretty sure he knew where he was going Side-eye neighbors all along the road Don't talk to strangers is what he'd been told Head down, found his way three miles down 30 Back in '80 Tuscarawas was so dirty Rang the bell on the door of the factory Met with a scowl by the shop security... Mom was summoned in fear but I learned you can be happy with tears... [Flourish] Never been hugged so tight, never gave such a fright, and now I had a chance to say.... I'm sorry, and I figured out how. I'm sorry, and it's better now. That look in her eyes, she'd forgotten the lie And I learned a lesson I'll keep till I die... Such a great mommy...
