Romulus
Once when our mother called She had a voice of last year's cough We pa*sed 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 in spite of it We watched it all night We grew up in spite of it We saw her once last fall Our Grampa died in a hospital gown She didn't seem to care She smoked in her room and colored her hair I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed of her
