You dropped me off for my first day of school Six years old and had to learn new rules I didn't know what I was walking into I turned around and waved goodbye to you When you left me I remembered you Told me when the lunch bell rings at noon And I'm through with Twinkie number two I'd be half a day away from you Half a day away from you Mom you always know what to do Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue Half a day away from you Twenty years and half a million miles A lot of tears and 'bout as many smiles Gettin' by with life the way I do Gettin' paid to sing and play for you I bought a Twinkie at an old truckstop Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped I said "Hey Mama" when the call went through "I'm only half a day away from you" Half a day away from you Mamas always know what to do Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue Half a day away from, half a day away from you Aus Songtexte Mania
