Sometimes I think about you
Wonder if you're out there somewhere thinking 'bout me
And would you even recognize
The woman that your little girl has grown up to be
'Cause I look in the mirror and all I see
Are your brown eyes looking back at me
They're the only thing you ever gave to me at all
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far as I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me
I think about how it ain't fair
That you weren't there to braid my hair like mothers do
You weren't around to cheer me on
Help me dress for my high school prom like mothers do
Did you think I didn't need you here?
To hold my hand, to dry my tears?
Did you even miss me through the years at all?
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
There's sunny skies as far as I can see
If you ever come back home to Carolina
I wonder what you'd say to me
Forgiveness is such a simple word
But it's so hard to do when you've been hurt
Oh, I hear the weather's nice in California
And just in case you're wondering about me
From now on I won't be in Carolina
Your little girl is off, your little girl is off
Your little girl is off to Tennessee

This song reaches out to me. My parents were divored when me and my sister were at a young age. My mom has served many of years in prison and in and out of my life. This song makes me cry sometimes because i am in high school and i know how it feels espiclly about the part about the high school prom. When i was younger i would hear from my mom at diffrent times , sometimes i only see her ramdon year or once a year.

The lyrics of this song are a perfect anthem to the feminist movement of the last fifty years, that is, to the single, contemptible failure of the movement, resulting now in generations of selfish, self-centered, clueless women, regardless of their native intelligence, who never realize that rhetoric doesn't trump biology, that the female of the species is born with a uterus for a reason, and if she ever fills up that uterus, her primary role over all others is to RAISE that child, not just hatch it. A goodly number of the current criticisms and failure of contemporary society can be laid right at the foot of the feminists.

This song is about kellie's childhood and going through it without her mother. And all the things she wished she could have experienced with her mother. And also how she wants her mom their now.

i can relate to this song. my mom gave me and my little brother up not to long ago. she is to busy to care about us she cares more about her boyfriend. my mom wasnt there for anything. she did help with my prom. she wont be there to help me with my senior prom either. she has made the biggest mistake in her life and she dont realize it. she also wont be there to help with my wedding. i know she gave me and my brother up but i still love her because if it wasnt for her i wouldnt be here today and i wouldnt have the most amazing family and the most amazing fiance either.

i can sort of relate to this song, when i was 4 my parents got a divorce and everything went wrong from their my mum wasnt around much (something i wont discuss) and my dad wasnt very reliable, me and my 2 older brothers went to live with my grandparents when i was 8, and my mum got remarried and moved 3 hours away to live with her controlling new husband he was always lovly to us but was abusive to my mother she didnt want to move but things got out of hand and as our grandparents had costody she didnt have any rights, i understand now why she did what she did but i still hurts we didnt c each other much but now shes back and im living with her as is one of my brothers the other still lives with my grandparent but hes over our house all the time, me and my dad talk alot but he lives far away and has a new family now when i was a kid i was a real daddys girl but now i wish for them days back i no it sounds weird want him to be here to stop me goin on dates to hate my boyfriends and just do what dads are ment to do my m8s all hate their dad coz their to strict but id give anything to have one like that one who cares, as for me and my mum were so close we are like best mates but she wants to be a friend to me instead of a mother, growing up i needed a female role model although i had my nan who im very close to i needed some1 like a mum to teach me things so alot of the time i relied on music it was just a way of coping with everything. so even though i have a mum and dad it would be nice to have parents to guide me, im 17 now and doing pretty well i have goals that im determined to achive and someday hopefully kids i can be their for to be a friend and a mother. xxx love brooke
i love Avril

Hey there mz music moves my soul: although you're busy insulting children, maybe in your spare time you could learn that the exclamation point belongs INSIDE the quotes. P.S. This is a great song, written in part by Kelli herself, and very much from the heart. Good job kids on connecting to the decent music that is available out there, and being more intuitive and kind hearted than the adults in your lives. I love Kelli for her talent and for being an amazing role model for young women.

The song is great and I sympathize with each and every one of you that have posted your comments. Kellie Pickler is amazing. She is a very down to earth person and is never afraid to show who she really is. That being said, after reading everyone’s comments, I am appalled by all of the grammar and spelling errors. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t most of you in high school? This really scares me and is a reminder that as much as I want to be near my immediate family I will not (Lord help me!) move to a state where the educational system is so substandard! I wonder if you all are from states/counties where education is not deemed important or if it is just that none of you bothered to learn anything while in school. My ten-year-old daughter writes better than most of you girls and it scares me to think that “You are Our Future”!

UNBELIEVABLE ''nicolegrace95'' - - I suggest you SHOW some Grace to other people. You should be ASHAMED of yourself for telling people that they are pathetic. What gives you the right to even cast a single judgment on innocent people who bear scars they did nothing to earn? I'd like to know what hand of cards you were dealt.
