Song Description

Uptempo country for female vocal--a lighthearted, but frustrated day in the life of a mother

Lyrics

Verse1
Some days I need a stunt double
To be the one to tumble
Down the stairs with the laundry basket

Some days I need I nanny
To blame when the kids are bratty
Cuz heaven knows I didn?t raise them like that

Chorus
Some days I need to hang my head
Grad a couple aspirin and climb back into bed
Some days I need to lock the bathroom door
And say?Mama?s not on duty anymore

Verse 2
Some days I need a receptionist
To sit there at that desk
Pay the bills, answer the ringing phone

Some days I need a medical degree
When the baby comes to me
To remove the raisin from his nose

Chorus
Some days I need to hang my head
Grad a couple aspirin and climb back into bed
Some days I need to lock the bathroom door
And say?Mama?s not on duty anymore

Bridge
I can choose to laugh or cry
Embrace this mess or lay down and die
I can see it as a blessing or a curse
Hope for the best, prepare for the worse

Verse 3
Some day they?ll treat me like a queen
They?ll keep their rooms clean
Make the beds, hug & kiss me to death

Some day I?ll get my sainthood
And they?ll eat all their food
But you know, I won?t hold my breath


Chorus
Some days I need to hang my head
Grad a couple aspirin and climb back into bed
Some days I need to lock the bathroom door
And say?Mama?s not on duty anymore

Mama?s not on duty anymore
