Driving down country lanes
Seventy miles an hour
Windows down, sun on my face
It felt like the world was ours
And when I was scared or sad or lonely
You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof
You showed me how to stand on my own feet
When I was falling into the blue
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
And you gave me the world in your hands, even when I didn't understand
And you made me the woman I am, so if you're ever
If I could walk a day in your jeans with every frail and broken seam
I'd be the best the world has seen
So if you're ever scared or sad or lonely
You always told me rain doesn't fall on one roof
You showed me how to stand on my own feet
When I was falling into the blue
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
She said it will be okay while wiping the tears from her face
But I can feel her pain now that I'm grown
If I was born and raised a million miles away
You'll be the familiar place I'll always call home
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
And it's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes, yeah
It's days like these I thank God I have my mother's genes
