Once when our mother called She had a voice of last years cough We passed around the phone Sharing a word about Oregon When my turn came I was ashamed 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 never be fixed or be 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 boyfriend, some wild She moved away quite far Our Grandpa bought us a new VCR We watched it all night We grew up inspite of it We watched it all night We grew up inspite of it We saw her once last fall Our Grampa died in a hospital gown She didnt seem to care She smoked in her room and coloured her hair I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed Of her
