Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall Me and myself tryin' to play catch 'Cause daddy ain't home yet I was Batman, Robin, and the Joker, too It was Gotham City lonesome in the livin' room And mama'd say, "You pray 'cause your daddy's gonna be late"
But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up our little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave
But somebody played Tooth Fairy Left the cash, took out the trash Made mama feel pretty, put a dent in the whiskey There were tip-toe prayers and midnight kisses I love you's, and little boy wishes for Saturday's Where we could play all day
But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up our little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave
Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall He and himself tryin' to play catch 'Cause I ain't home yet
But the lights stayed on somehow And love fills up our little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems I hope he don't think I hope he don't think All I ever do is leave
