lyrics

You're gonna make us proud one day
Be a doctor or a lawyer, so we can say
that's our son with the three kids
and the pretty wife
look at how well he's done

Hey Ma and Pa don't you know me no more
Remember I was your little boy
Gluing models together
Well don't you think I'm someone
that you could know better

I call you now about once a week
it's polite talk, we never seem to speak
You like to tell me about my sister
she's a big star, much more of what you really are

sometimes it seems like I'm drowning out here
struggling just to see my way clear
not living up to expectations
excuse me but my life is not your invention

I might've ended up like Einstein
but I could've been Jack Ruby
it took some time getting used to
me just being me

Hey Ma and Pa don't you know me no more
Remember I was your little boy
We're in this life all together
Well don't you think I'm someone
that you should know better
