I didn’t ask anymore

I was four when you left me

I didn’t know or understand

what was happening

cramped in a car with my brothers

from houston to Missouri

afraid, hugging that teddy bear

that someone gave me for the ride

I learned to live without you

what a terrible thing to do

But i was just a lonely little boy

Didn’t know how to miss you

I’m sure I asked a thousand times

Where is my mom

But after a thousand cries

I didn’t ask anymore

I didn’t ask anymore

every birthday on the farm

I wondered where you were

sometimes a card would come

but then there were no more

I grew and tried to cope

with that emptiness inside

I wondered why you didn’t come

I wondered if you tried

I learned to live without you

what a terrible thing to do

But i was just a lonely little boy

Didn’t know how to miss you

I’m sure I asked a thousand times

Where is my mom

But after a thousand cries

I didn’t ask anymore

I didn’t ask anymore

When I went off to college

I had a change of heart

I wrote a little letter

at least it was a start

You said that you were sorry

That that was long ago

But deep within my heart

I couldn’t let it go

I learned to live without you

what a terrible thing to do

But i was just a lonely little boy

Didn’t know how to miss you

I’m sure I asked a thousand times

Where is my mom

But after a thousand cries

I didn’t ask anymore

I didn’t ask anymore
