1
Early, early in the game
2
I taught myself to sing and play
3
And use a little trickery
4
On kids who never favored me
5
Those were years of crinoline slips
6
And cotton skirts and swinging hips
7
And dangerously painted lips
8
And stars of stage and screen
9
Pedal pushers, ankle socks
10
Padded bras and campus jocks
11
Who hid their vernal equinox
12
In pairs of faded jeans
13
And slept at home resentfully
14
Coveting their dreams
15
And I look around and I wonder
16
How the years and I survived
17
I had a mother who sang to me
18
An honest lullaby
19
Yellow, brown and black and white
20
Our Father, bless us all tonight
21
I bowed my head at the football games
22
And closed the prayer in Jesus name
23
Lusted after football heroes
24
Tough Pachuco, little Neroes
25
Forfeiting my A's for zeroes
26
Futures unforeseen
27
Spending all my energy
28
In keeping my virginity
29
And living in a fantasy
30
In love with Jimmy Dean
31
If you will be my king, Jimmy, Jimmy
32
I will be your queen
33
I look around and I wonder
34
How the years and I survived
35
I had a mother who sang to me
36
An honest lullaby
37
Now look at you, you must be growing
38
A quarter of an inch a day
39
You've already lived near half the years
40
You'll be when you go away
41
With your teddy bears and alligators
42
Enterprise communicators
43
All the tiny aviators head into the sky
44
And while the others play with you
45
I hope to find a way with you
46
And sometimes spend a day with you
47
I'll catch you as you fly
48
Or if I'm worth a mother's salt
49
I'll wave as you go by
50
And if you look around and you wonder
51
How the years and you'll survive
52
Honey, you've got a mother who sings to you
53
Dances on the strings for you
54
Opens her heart and brings to you
55
An honest lullaby
