[Verse] So now it’s over and you’re free You’ve left your little boy and me You say you’re tired of stayin’ home And you can make it on your own I thought this family was your life You’re new woman not a wife Now you’re chasin’ a new dream Found in a Cosmo maga- zine [Chorus] That little guy and I will find our way We never really knew you anyway And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I’ll tell him just forget it son        I spent a life time lov- in’ you Or was it just a year or two The girl I thought had clipped her wings Lived only in man boyish dreams [Chorus] That little guy and I will find our way We never really knew you anyway And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I’ll tell him just forget it son        Someday they’ll say your son looks just like you But you’ll never know if what they say is true And when he wants to know the when the where the why and how The mama who should be at home is gone I’ll tell him just forget it son It’s just the times not what we’ve done

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la douleur d'un père qui réalise que la mère de son enfant a choisi de partir. Elle semble en quête de liberté et de nouveaux rêves, laissant derrière elle son rôle au sein de la famille. Le narrateur exprime sa tristesse et sa confusion, se demandant ce qui s'est réellement passé dans leur relation et devant expliquer à son fils l'absence de sa mère. Il se retrouve à devoir assumer seul la responsabilité, tout en cherchant à protéger l'enfant des désillusions. Le contexte de cette histoire est celui d'une rupture familiale, à un moment où les rôles traditionnels sont remis en question, et où les choix personnels entravent souvent le bonheur collectif. La quête de soi peut parfois mener à des conséquences douloureuses pour ceux qui restent.
