Half A Day Away - The Isaacs

You dropped me off for my first day of school

Six years old and had to learn new rules

I didn’t know what I was walking into

I turned around and waved goodbye to you

When you left me I remembered you

Told me when the lunch bell rings at noon

And I’m through with Twinkie number two

I’d be half a day away from you

Half a day away from you

Mom you always know what to do Soon I won’t be missing you and feeling so blue

Half a day away from you

Twenty years and half a million miles

A lot of tears and 'bout as many smiles

Gettin’by with life the way I do Gettin’paid to sing and play for you

I bought a Twinkie at an old truckstop

Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped

I said «Hey Mama"when the call went through

«I'm only half a day away from you»

Half a day away from you

Mamas always know what to do Soon I won’t be missing you and feeling so blue

Half a day away from, half a day away from you
