baby seat

You left Billy with the kid
And all the selfless things you did with Billy
You left your home town in the spring
And turned your back on everything
You thought your life would just go by
Without a pause to wonder, dont be silly
You cant live your life in the baby seat
Youve got to stand on your own
Dont admit defeat
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later in the street
He said 'You are the only one
To recognize that Im the son'
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And then that night, between the sheets, she told him
You cant live your life in the baby seat
Youve got to stand on your own
Dont admit defeat
You cant live your life in the baby seat
Forty days at sea
Then she turned and said to me
'If we make it back
Ill renounce Jack Kerouac
And all that romantic crap
Like Im an artist dont look back'
Now were living somewhere else
We keep opinions to ourselves
But still we seek a sneaky peek at Heaven
When the working week defeats us
If you think growing up is tough
Then youve just not grown up enough, baby
You cant live your life in the baby seat
Youve got to stand on your own
Dont admit defeat
You cant live your life in the baby seat
You cant live your life in the baby seat
