I'm hangin' at my buddy's place chillin' on the couch
Talkin' 'bout nothin' just shootin' our mouths
Then the door swings wide and here she comes
His mom's on a mission and it's about to get fun
"Didn't I say to clean this room today?"
He mutters somethin' back but it don't go his way
I'm sittin' there quiet like a statue in stone
Caught in the crossfire feelin' all alone
I'm front row to the show didn't buy no seat
Watchin' the sparks fly tryin' to stay discreet
Should I laugh should I run or just sit real still?
This mom's on fire and I'm catchin' the chill
Oh front row to the family scene
Never thought I'd be here at seventeen
She's throwin' out words I ain't heard before
His face is red but he's tryin' to ignore
I'm pretendin' I'm invisible starin' at the wall
But there's nowhere to hide in this hallway brawl
"Your grades are slippin' your chores ain't done"
He's noddin' along like he's under a gun
I clear my throat but that's a mistake
Now her eyes are on me and my soul starts to shake
I'm front row to the show didn't buy no seat
Watchin' the sparks fly tryin' to stay discreet
Should I laugh should I run or just sit real still?
This mom's on fire and I'm catchin' the chill
Oh front row to the family scene
Never thought I'd be here at seventeen
It's a live performance no commercial breaks
And I'm trapped in the middle of their family stakes
When it's over I just wanna escape
But she's standin' by the door holdin' her cape
I'm front row to the show didn't buy no seat
Watchin' the sparks fly tryin' to stay discreet
Should I laugh should I run or just sit real still?
This mom's on fire and I'm catchin' the chill
Oh front row to the family scene
Never thought I'd be here at seventeen
Next time I'll think twice before I come by
Or I'll grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride
