I am waiting in the hospital
With my mother's eyes
There's a song on the radio
That I don't wanna hear
No, I don't wanna hear

I'm turning pages of a magazine
With my father's hand
There are pictures in the magazine
That I don't understand
No, I don't understand

Come back to the Five and Dime
Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean
I am looking with my mother's eyes
I'm seeing things I've never seen
Things that I have never seen

No, I don't wanna listen
And I don't wanna try
I am waiting in the hospital
With my mother's eyes
