[Intro]
C C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Things are gettin' better but right now it's not looking great
C G
My ceiling still is spinning from a night that went too late
C F C
I used to sleep this off and let the shame just melt away
C G C
But not for tiny feet in hallways calling out my name
[Chorus]
F C
It's not that I don't love you, I wouldn't touch the hands of time
F G G
It's not that I don't long to feel your tiny hand in mine
C F C
I'm not a perfect woman, Lord, I don't wish it all away
F G C
My name can't be Mama today
[Riff]
C G D
[Verse 2]
C F C
Today I didn't listen to the voice inside my head
C G C
I peeled out of the driveway left my family in bed
C F C
Know it wouldn't be easier to just quit the road and stay home
C G C
I'd lose myself inside the halls, unsatisfied and alone
[Verse 3]
F C
Sometimes all I want is to run back to you at night
F G
To rock you to sleep, to keep the blues out of your eyes
C F C
I'm not the kind of woman that would throw it all away
C G C
But my name can't be Mama today
[Riff]

[Verse 4]
D G D
I drive my mother crazy out here traveling the world
D A
Free-wheeling in the city, I'm a solitary girl
D G D
I'm living in the moment, knowing there might come a day
D A D
But my name can't be Mama today, uh-uh
[Chorus]
G D
It's not that I don't want to, I just don't want to today
G A
I'm not a fan of mornings and I love my chardonnay
D G D
No, I'm not saying never, I won't wish it all away
D G D
But my name can't be Mama today, oh no
D G D
My name can't be Mama today
[Outro]
