G
My mother ran away today
C G
She walked right out the door
Packed her tooth brush and pajamas
D7
Said, "I can't take it no more."
G
She said that she was tired
F G
She said she had her fill
D7
Of cooking our meals, washing our clothes
G
And cleaning up all our spills
[Verse]
G
She said she'd write us letters
C G
With no return address
D7
She said that she'd be back someday
But now she has to rest
G
She took the plants, she took the cats
C G
Took our pictures from the wall
D7
And though it's only been a few hours ago,
G
I wish that she would call
[Outro]
G
I never thought I'd miss her
C G
Isn't that the way?
D7
You never know how much Mom means to ya
G
Until she runs away
