Icarus

I run just to catch my tail

I fly just to see my feet

And I hide just to see who's lookin'

And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, "Everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus

Flirtin' with the big ol' sun, go and find someone

Why don't you settle down, baby?

Yeah, you had your fun"

My mama said she wants grand babies

My daddy said he wouldn't mind a few grandchildren too

But I just lost my baby

'Cause I'm too hard livin', I got too much to do

My mama said, "Everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus

Flirtin' with the big ol' sun, go and find someone

Why don't you settle down, baby?

Yeah, you had your fun"

Grab the bull by the horns, sheer them sheep

Milk those heifers, baby, teat by teat

A little hard work never did no wrong

But who you gon' love when the evenin' comes?

And I run just to catch my tail

And I fly just to see my feet

And I hide just to see who's lookin'

And I smile every time I brush my teeth

My mama said, "Everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus

Flirtin' with the big ol' sun, go and find someone

Why don't you settle down, baby?

Yeah, you had your fun"

Everybody thinks they're wiser than Icarus

Flirtin' with the big ol' sun, go and find someone

Why don't you settle down, baby?

Yeah, you had your fun
