I really love the song by rachel proctor..Called me and emily. I am so in love with country music. The newer song I am really liking is mr. Mom!!
Me and emily
floorboard's filled with baby toys, an' empty coke
bottles an' cofee cups
drivin' through the rain with no radio,
tryin' not to wake her up.
Cell 'phone says "low battery",
god, what if I break down?
I'm just lookin' for an exit with a lotta lights,
a safe little interstate town.
Just a cheap hotel,
with a single bed,
and cable tv
is good enough for me an' emily.
Some day, when she's old enough,
she's gonna start askin' questions about him.
Some kid at school brings his dad for show an' tell,
an' gets her little mind a-wonderin'
"where's my daddy? Do I have one?
"does he not love me like you do?"
oh, maybe i'll find someone to love the both of us,
an' i'll tell her when she's old enough to know the truth.
Will it break her heart?
Will she understand,
that I had to leave?
That's what was best for me an' emily.
That house was never clean enough
his dinner never warm enough.
Nothing I did was ever good enough to make him happy.
So, I guess, he gave me what he thought I deserved,
but it would kill me if he ever raised his hand to her.
Big rigs are throwin' rain on my windshield,
an' I feel like they're laughin' at me.
Fin'lly the storm is lettin' up,
an' the mornin' is breakin' free.
It's a brand new day,
it's a second chance.
Yesterday is just a memory,
for me an' emily.
Ah.
Floorboard is filled with baby toys,
an' empty coke bottles an' coffee cups.
Least there's one good thing that he gave me,
an' she's startin' to wake up.

lost my job, came home mad
got a hug and kiss and that's too bad
she said I can go to work until you find another job
i thought I like the sound of that
watch tv and take long naps
go from a hand working dad to being mr. Mom
well
pampers melt in a maytag dryer
crayons go up one drawer higher
rewind barney for the fifteenth time
breakfast, six naps at nine
there's bubble gum in the baby's hair
sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
been crazy all day long and it's only monday
mr. Mom
football, soccer and ballet
squeeze in scouts and pta
and there's that shopping list she left
that's seven pages long
how much smoke can one stove make
the kids won't eat my charcoal cake
it's more than any maid can take
being mr. Mom
well
pampers melt in a maytag dryer
crayons go up one drawer higher
rewind barney for the sixteenth time
breakfast, six naps at nine
there's bubble gum in the baby's hair
sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
been crazy all day long and it's only monday
mr. Mom
before I fall in bed tonight
if the dog didn't eat the classifieds
i'm gonna look just one more time
'cause
pampers melt in a maytag dryer
crayons go up one drawer higher
rewind barney for the eighteenth time
breakfast, six naps at nine
there's bubble gum in the baby's hair
sweet potatoes in my lazy chair
been crazy all day long
oh been crazy all day long and it's only monday
mr. Mom
balancin' checkbooks, juggling bills
thought there was nothing to it
baby, now I know how you feel
what I don't know is how you do it
