Half a Day Away Songtext

von The Isaacs

You dropped me off for my first day of school.
Six yrs old and had to learn new rules.
I didn't know what I was walking into,
I turned around and waved goodbye to you.
When you left I remember you, told me when the lunch bell rings at noon;
And I'm through with twinky number two,
I'd be half a day away from you.

Half a day away from you,
Mum you always know what to do.
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue,
Half a day away from you.

INSTRUMENTAL

Twenty years and half a million miles,
Lotta tears and bout as many smiles.
Gettin by with life the way I do, gettin paid to sing and play for you.
I bought a twinky at an old truck stop.
Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped.
I said, "Hey mumma, when the call went through,
I'm only half a day from you.

Half a day away from you.
Mumma's always know what to do.
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue,
Half a day away from you.
Half a day away from you.
