Once when our mother called
G Dsus4 Am C
She had a voice of last year's cough
G Dsus4 Am C
We passed around the phone
G Dsus4 Am C
Sharing a word about Oregon
G Dsus4 Am C
When my turn came I was ashamed
G Dsus4 Am C
When my turn came I was ashamed
Once when we moved away
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it'd never be fixed or found
We touched her hair we touched her hair
We touched her hair we touched her hair
When she had her last child Once when she had some boyfriends some wild
She moved away quite far
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR
We watched it all night but grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night but grew up in spite of it
We saw her once last fall
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown
She didn't seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair
I was ashamed I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed I was ashamed of her
