the size queens - daughter lyrics

this time she’s really gone
this time it’s really true
can’t stop her at the front door
and tell her what not to do

could never keep her from smoking
she made her way to the piggly wiggly store
i couldn’t keep her from drinking
she always had to have one more

and you can’t teach a dead daughter
well, that’s something true
oh, don’t waste your breath
she’s not listening in death

she always dated the wrong men
she made a trashcan of her car
we couldn’t correct her posture
our little girl went a little too far

she never called to tell us
sometimes arriving surprise, surprise
she had a boyfriend who drove an ice truck
something dead in both his eyes

now you can’t teach a dead daughter
you can’t tell her what to fear
you can only look upon her
and pity the poor dear
she was an aspiring student
didn’t have any clear aptitudes
she kept herself quite busy
just outside the school

but we had hopes she’d be something
bigger than both of us
to her we were just ozzie and harriet
she didn’t have time for all any of that junk

oh, you can’t teach a dead daughter
so, honey, don’t you waste your breath
she didn’t listen to us in life
she’s not listening to us in death

no, you can’t teach a dead daughter
i know that’s something true
oh, don’t waste your breath
she’s not listening in death

dear mama and daddy

i’m writing this to you to let you know i’m not gonna be coming back, um
i don’t want you to take it personally
i know that you never really liked donny, but he’s a good man and he is gonna be the father of my child
um, when he’s not drinking he’s very tender
when i’m not drinking i really think i can really put my mind to reasoning
um, in the meantime i’m planning one day to go to veterinary school
um, for a while i think i’m just gonna ride with him in his truck
uh, and then, you know, we get settled somewhere that’s what i’m gonna do
i know i’ve left my turtle behind
mama, please, if you wouldn’t mind just making sure that you don’t, don’t overfeed it
just one piece of lettuce a day is enough
i know you get sentimental and you always wanna give it more but it’ll make it sick
you know i love you
your daughter
bye
