"Icarus" lyrics

"Icarus"

I run just to catch my tail
I fly just to see my feet
And I hide just to see who's lookin'
And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, "Everybody thinks
They're wiser than Icarus
Flirtin' with the big ol' sun
Go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby
Yeah, you've had your fun"

My mama said she wants grandbabies
My daddy said he wouldn't mind a few grandchildren too
But I just lost my baby
'Cause I'm too hard livin', I got too much to do

My mama said, "Everybody thinks
They're wiser than Icarus
Flirtin' with the big ol' sun
Go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby
Yeah, you've had your fun"

Grab the bull by the horns, sheer them sheep
Milk those heifers, baby teat by teat
A little hard work never did no wrong
But who you gonna love when the evenin' comes?

And I run just to catch my tail
And I fly just to see my feet
And I hide just to see who's lookin'
And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, "Everybody thinks
They're wiser than Icarus
Flirtin' with the big ol' sun
Go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby
Yeah, you've had your fun"

Everybody thinks
They're wiser than Icarus
Flirtin' with the big ol' sun
Go and find someone
Why don't you settle down, baby
Yeah, you've had your fun
