(You`re not here to scold me anymore)
I wipe my shoes when I come through the door and I quit dropping ashes on the floor
Every day I tidy up our room I`ve become an expert with the broom
I`m not with the guys night after night I don`t stay out no more till broad day light
I don`t do anything I did before oh but you`re not here to scold me anymore
The silly little fights we had nobody understood
When I was bad then you got mad but even that was good
I changed a lot why I don`t even snore oh but you`re not here to scold me anymore
[ strings ]
My clothes I used to just throw down I now hang up myself
My razor blades and grooving aids I put back in the shelf
And I threw away that silly hat I wore oh but you`re not here to scold me anymore
