Legos and GI Joes across the floor
Barney on TV,
mac and cheese we could barely afford
She was changing diapers,
killing spiders Waitressing at the all-night diner
She was pulling double shift on both sides of the door
She'd sing,
hush little baby,
don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Taught me how to love,
how to be strong How to sing a harmony in a country song
She had to do the job for two somehow
It takes one hell of a woman to be the man
of the
house
Wrong from right, when to fight and how to
forgive
Lose with grace and when you cross home play
Be humble when you win
She was raising a wild boy, young rebel cowboy
A single mom,
ain't got no choice One half of a broken home
But she made it whole again She'd sing,
hush little baby,
don't say a
word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Taught me how to love,
how to be strong How to sing a harmony in a country song
She had to do the job for two somehow
It takes one hell of a woman to be the man of the house
The man of the house
She was raising a wild boy,
young rebel cowboy A single mom,
ain't got no choice
One half of a broken home
But she made it whole again
Singin' hush little baby,
don't say a word Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Taught me how to love,
how to be strong How to sing a harmony in a country song
She had to do the job for two somehow
It takes one hell of a woman
Yeah it takes one hell of a woman To be the man of the house
The man of the house
