Lyrics

You're long and strong like a railway trestle Dad's just a muscle and mama just a vessel Meant to cough on over, cuddle & nestle Dad's just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle Son, give me time I'm a bona fide mess-up Mama says no; maybe dad'll say yes sir Did you do wrong? Well go ahead confess up[?] Dad just a muscle and mama just a vessel You all blue and your mama like a rattle Came out looking like a Smurf in a battle Me in the nosebleeds, mama in the saddle Brave like a Sioux brave going into battle Emotion going like a stampede of cattle Real like rain and coffee in Seattle Anesthesiologist fiddle and faddle You all blue and your mama like a rattle Oh life's so clear like a Rivera mural Lucifer's teeth, introduce the epidural Doctor Jones, do you need a heaven referral? God sent you down to me and my girl She's long and tall and healthy as hell But the plan went to hell when the little fella fell Boy went headfirst into her pelvis 1956 shakin' like Elvis Yesterday-born and already thinkin' Body like a Ford and a mind like a Lincoln Mama and Papa in love and sinkin' Into a brand new situation drinkin' up Coffee like a fish on the second and third shift Loving every single ever-loving minute of this Standing ovation for the OR specialist Let me get close, wanna give my son one kiss, on his head Planning for the future; health and dental Picking up my baby boy, easy and gentle Soup for the family: Sausage and lentil Beans and greens Arugula and fentil (sic) Don't go to sleep, I'm about to go mental But nothing so far has been accidental Can't keep my life so it's gotta be a rental Picking up my baby boy, easy and gentle You're long and strong like a railway trestle Dad's just a muscle and mama just a vessel Meant to cough on over, cuddle & nestle Dad's just a bear you can tackle down and wrestle You can have a pop-tent or you can have a castle Try to change people but it's gonna be a hassle Don't have to be an astronaut for NASA But it's always good to get a gown and a tassel Son, have fun with your life it's a drama Just one period and all kinds of commas Now you got a onesie but then you get pajamas You know you've got me and you know you've got your mama

During the normal pre song banter of Seth explaining how he wrote the song, the brothers speak about the "silent fight" they experienced on stage at the San Diego show the night before. Scott quoted Seth saying  "Man, Im not trying to get revenge on you" and Seth responded live "That was about 80% true."
