"I'm Paying For My Raising" lyrics

"I'm Paying For My Raising"

Well, Junior got his driver's license Thursday
Then he wrecked the family car on Friday night
The baby throws a tantrum, if she don't get her way
Nothing ever seems to ever turn out right

I guess I'm paying for my raising
Like my Mama said I'd do when I was grown
She said, "Gal, you'll pay your dues
Pay 'em well when you have children of your own"
Well, my mama was young when her turned grey
And I'm looking for mine to turn that way
I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising

Now my little girl thinks that she is mistreated
When I insist that she hangs up her clothes
Well, I get upset and say things that shouldn't be repeated
And I'm ashamed of a lot of words my baby knows

I guess I'm paying for my raising
Like my Mama said I'd do when I was grown
She said, "Gal, you'll pay your dues
Pay 'em well when you have children of your own"
Well, my mama was young when her turned grey
And I'm looking for mine to turn that way
I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising

No, I won't find it amazing
Since I'm paying for my raising
