Baby Seat Lyrics - Maroon - Barenaked Ladies

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, don't be silly 

But you can't live your life in the baby seat 

You've got to stand on your own 

Don't admit defeat 

He came down from his retreat 

She saw him later on the street 

He said "You are the only one 

to recognise that I'm the son" 

So she bent down and kissed his feet 

And that night between the sheets she told him

You can't live your life in the baby seat 

You've got to stand on your own 

Don't admit defeat 

You can't live your life in the baby seat 

You've got to stand on your own 

Don't admit defeat 

40 days at sea 

Then she turned and said to me 

"If we make it back 

I'll renounce Jack Kerouac 

And all of that romantic crap 

Like I'm an artist dont' look back"

Now we're 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 you're just not grown up enough, baby 

You can't live your life in the baby seat 

You've got to stand on your own 

Don't admit defeat
