about

Simply put, this song is the story of my birth. Being her 8th child, she knew the ropes of labor pretty well and was confident enough to make a final trip to the grocery store to stock up on food for my siblings while she was away.

lyrics

1986, she was 40 years old
She had seven kids, the eighth about to be born
Dropping off the twins when her water broke
She said I’m sorry but I got to go
So she hopped in her car and she drove to the...grocery store?
