Baby Seat

歌詞

You left Billy with the kid And all the selfless things you did with Billy You left your home town in the spring And turned your back on everything You thought your life would just go by Without a pause to wonder, don't be silly But you can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat He came down from his retreat She saw him later on the street He said "You are the only one to recognise that I'm the son" So she bent down and kissed his feet And that night between the sheets she told him You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat 40 days at sea Then she turned and said to me "If we make it back I'll renounce Jack Kerouac And all of that romantic crap Like I'm an artist dont' look back" Now we're living somewhere else We keep opinions to ourselves But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven When the working week defeats us If you think growing up is tough Then you're just not grown up enough, baby You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat
