They got five televisions in a house full of three
Look upon that fake fireplace, know the bucktooth boy is me
See that wood paneled room? That's where I learned to drink
See that hole in the wall? That was Seagram's I think
And that tree was a goalpost, the bathroom it was a shroud
That closet it was a phone booth, the mirror it was a crowd
See that guy with the bad knees and his heart on his sleeve?
Watch him slip me ten dollars when it comes time to leave
It's been five years and some change
And this world is getting so strange
But this house smells just the same
And my mom, my sweet mom
She don't remember my name
My mom, she can't remember my name
My mom
I sit on her bed, I kiss her right behind the ear
She calls out for a dog that's been dead for a year
I say "How is it going?" just like I didn't know
I hold both of her hands, too afraid to let go
Five times exactly, no more and no less
She says "Hiya then, Eaton boy," I say "Okay, I guess"
In this room where she made me, each day she grows weak
She flips on The Golden Girls, first tear hits my cheek
It's been five years and some change
And this world is getting so strange
But this old house smells just the same
And my mom, my sweet mom
She don't remember my name
My mom, can't remember my name
She's my mom now
She can't remember my name
My mom, can't remember my name
My mom
