[Verse 1]
I kissed the kids goodnight
Pulled on my go-out shoes
Hair up, phone on charge
Tonight I got to choose
Mom’s been on all day
Now I need a little me
One drink, two laughs, three beats
Then I’m back by three
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “I got it”
With that brave little grin
Then he saw the backpack
And the snack box within
Where’s the juice box?
Where’s the extra tee?
Why’s the baby crying?
Oh, this is new to me
[Chorus]
Mom off duty
Mom off duty
I’m out with my crew now
Mom off duty
Dad on duty
Dad on duty
He’s doing the mom things
Dad on duty
[Verse 2]
He tried the hair tie
Ended up in a knot
Found a missing sock pile
Like, what is that spot?
He made mac and cheese
Forgot the spoon inside
One kid wants a sticker
One kid wants a ride
“Which one’s the school form?”
“Did you sign this yet?”
He’s got the best intentions
But he’s in the deep end
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, “I got it”
With that brave little grin
Then he saw the calendar
And the chaos within
Snack time, bath time
Bedtime choreography
Now he’s learning fast
What “just a minute” means to me
[Chorus]
Mom off duty
Mom off duty
I’m out with my crew now
Mom off duty
Dad on duty
Dad on duty
He’s doing the mom things
Dad on duty
[Bridge]
Text from home says
“Send the bedtime song”
Then “Where’s the other shoe?”
Then “This is taking long”
I’m dancing with my girls
He’s negotiating peas
Same house, same kids
Different kind of needs
[Final Chorus]
Mom off duty
Mom off duty
I’m out with my crew now
Mom off duty
Dad on duty
Dad on duty
He’s doing the mom things
Dad on duty
Mom off duty
Mom off duty
I’ll be back in the morning
Mom off duty
