When your feet are complaining from the long working day
And the weekend seems a lifetime ago
When you're wishing on the stars at a half past midnight
Do you smile a little softer than before?
You know your mind has been made ever since you fell in love
With the ones that you're cherishing still
'Cause you're a mother by birthright and a teacher by day
A warm-hearted, loyal hometown girl
So take the sky for what it is
It's just a place for all the weather
Whether it's blue or gray
And if the rain goes pitter pat
It's a reason to hold on to your children
Wouldn't you say that's a pretty fine day?
Do your dreams shine as bright as the stars in Tennessee?
Are they mainly a paycheck from sight?
It seems a lifetime ago since the air was free
And your only chore was coming home for the night
But when you hear your children sing would you really change a thing?
There's the world that you're cherishing still
You gotta sing when it rains for the love that it brings
To a warm-hearted, loyal hometown girl
Take the sky for what it is
Just a place for all this weather
No matter blue or gray, Patty, wouldn't you say?
And if the rain's falling down
It's a reason to love on to your children
Wouldn't you say that's a pretty fine day?
It's a reason to hold on to your children
Wouldn't you say that's a pretty fine day?
Wouldn't you say that's a pretty fine day?
