Snow Cherries from France

Playboy Mommy

In my platforms
I hit the floor
Fell face down
Didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came
Before I found
The magic how
To keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
Of what you want
Wanted me to be

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
So
You got a playboy mommy
But when you tell em my name
And you want to cross that
Bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Cause they know
Your playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name
From here to Birminghman I got a few friends

I never was there
Was there when it counts
I get my way
You're so like me
You seemed ashamed
Ashamed that I was
A good friend of American soldiers
I'll say it loud here by your grave
Those angels can't
Ever take my place

Somewhere where the orchids grow
I can't find those church bells
That played when you died
Played Gloria
Talkin' 'bout
Hosannah

Don't judge me so harsh little girl
You got a playboy mommy, come home
But when you tell them soldiers my name
And cross that bridge all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
Cause they know your playboy mommy
But I'll be home
I'll be home to take you in my arms.
