Sorry, mom, I smelled like cigarettes

And my eyes were casa red

With a pounding in my head

Showing up again on sunday morning

You just made the eggs and turned your head.

Sorry, mom, you know that I had sex

'fore I bought the white dress

I know you're not impressed

With my lack of sticking to the bible

Yeah, I got regrets, but you did your best.

I turned out alright

So you can sleep good at night

Maybe I ran all the red lights

Maybe we got into a few fights

It's a different cloth we cut

But underneath, we're the same blood

So I know it took a little tough love

To become the woman that you're proud of.

Sorry, mom, I didn't graduate

After two years and some change

And that money went to waste

I know it wasn't cheap tuition

There were dreams to chase

And songs to play.

Sorry, mom, I missed your 58th

I was on another plane

Going to another stage

My priorities were out of balance

You told me to go

But wished I was home.

Now I turned out alright (oh, alright)

So you can sleep good at night (sleep good at night)

Maybe I ran all the red lights

Maybe we got into a few fights

It's a different cloth we cut

But underneath, we're the same blood

So I know it took a little tough love

To become the woman that you're proud of

Sorry, mom.

Now I turned out alright

And we both sleep good at night

I met a guy that we both like

And I got a house with a porch light

It's a different cloth we cut

But underneath, we're the same blood

So I know it took a little tough love

To become the woman that you're proud of

Sorry, mom.
