A Mother Never Sleeps

Nothin like a road trip In the middle of the night Josh was hitch hiking Him and his dad got into a fight How did I find out... He's my son's best friend Another adopted son of mine My love has no end 11pm In my sleeping attire I head north for two hours Blood pressure getting higher He waited in a parking lot I told him this to shall pass Turned him around then Kicked him in the a--! I do not allow hitch hiking No matter where you are Now get in the truck Vegas and my son isn't too far His dad is an alcoholic Means words are all he can say Josh told him he needs help He's hurting the kids each and every day A bruise on his cheek From a punch from his dad He didn't what to hear what was said For alcohol sees no bad Driving two hours south now Just a couple of his bags in tow Bought him a ticket at the airport At 6:20am, off to Vegas he goes 5am, Headin due east Coffee in hand Sammi and Vicky calls They're buried in the sand Out four wheelin' With no spot light to see Now I'm gathering up 2x4, chains, shovels Trying to find them in ebony Two trucks isn't enough We went to get more Finally got it out Im' going to bed...can't take anymore Good night!
