Mothers Pay More

come gather 'round
i'll only tell you once

my baby had
all of the evidence
and i'm so glad
that she can fill her lungs

but you won't believe it, no

i'm awful glad
that when we go on tour
i always know
my mother will pay more

but you won't believe it, no

days go by
and you won't get no fatter, no

pages flying
into a little pile on the floor

days go by
and you're as straight as a senator

but you won't believe it, no

days go by
and you won't get no fatter, no

pages flying
into a little pile on the floor

breezing by
everyone in town tonight

i'm awful glad
that we can go on tour

i'm awful glad
my mother will pay more

but you won't believe it, no
