Lyrics Headlights

Mom I know I let you down and though you say the days are happy

Why is the power off and I'm fucked up?

And Mom I know he's not around

But don't you place the blame on me

As you pour yourself another drink yeah

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

I went in headfirst never thinking about

Who what I said hurt in what verse

My mom probably got it the worst

The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are

Did I take it too far? cleaning out my closet and all them other songs

But regardless I don't hate you 'cos Ma

You're still beautiful to me 'cos you're my mom

Though far be it from you to be calm our house was Vietnam

Desert Storm and both of us put together can

Form an atomic bomb equivalent to chemical warfare

And forever we can drag this on and on but agree to disagree

That gift from me up under the

Christmas tree don't mean

Shit to me you're kicking me out?

It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve little prick just leave

Ma let me grab my fucking coat

Anything to have each other's goats

Why we always at each other's throats?

Especially when dad he fucked us both

We're in the same fucking boat you'd think that it'd make us close

Further away it drove us but together headlights shine a

Car full of belongings still got a ways to go

Back to Grandma's house it's straight up the road

And I was the man of the house the oldest

So my shoulders carried the weight of the load

Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight years old

And that's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't

Fixable or changeable and to this day

We remained estranged and I hate it though but

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

'Cos to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though

'Cos you ain't even get to witness your grand babies grow

But I'm sorry mama for cleaning out my

Closet at the time

I was angry

Rightfully maybe so never meant that far to take it though 'cos

Now I know it's not your fault and I'm not making jokes

That song I no longer play at shows and

I cringe every time it's on the radio

And I think of Nathan being placed in a home

And all the medicine you fed us

And how I just wanted you to taste your own

But now the medications taken over

And your mental state's deteriorating slow

And I'm way too old to cry the shit is painful though

But Ma I forgive you so does Nathan yo

All you did all you said you did your best to raise us both

Foster care that cross you bear few may be as heavy as yours

But I love you

Debbie Mathers oh what a tangled web we have

'Cos one thing I never asked was

Where the fuck my deadbeat dad was?

Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address

But I'd have flipped every mattress every rock and desert cactus

Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the Atlas

Someone ever moved them from me? that you coulda bet your asses

If I had to come down the chimney dressed as

Santa kidnap them

And although one has only met their Grandma once

You pulled up in our drive one night

As we were leaving to get some hamburgers

Me her and Nate we introduced you hugged you

And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me

As we pulled off to go our separate paths

And I saw your headlights as I looked back

And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to

Thank you for being my

Mom and my Dad

So Mom please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet

I guess I had to get this off my chest

I hope I get the chance to lay it 'fore I'm dead

The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt

I guess we're crashing

So if I'm not dreaming

I hope you get this message that I

Will always love you from afar 'cos you're my Ma

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

I want a new life

One without a cause so I'm coming home tonight well no matter what the cost

And if the plane goes down and the crew can't wake me up

Well just know that I'm alright

I was not afraid to die

Oh even if there's songs to sing well my children will carry me

Just know that I'm alright

I was not afraid to die

Because I put my faith in my little girls

So I never say goodbye cruel world

Just know that I'm alright

I was not afraid to die

I guess we are who we are

Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on

Maybe we took this too far

I want a new life
