My mom was a stoic woman
She never cursed
One day she picked me up at school
At her worst

Who knows what was eating her
What brought those dark thoughts
When I cried about being bullied by
Jim-John Gillott, she said

Buck up
Shut the pluck up and
Get in the back

She'd dreamed of owning a Chevy Impala
Since she was a girl
By the time should could afford one it was known as a
Lowrider car

So those rednecks in our small town called her 
Mamacita
That day my mom was having
Nada de esso, she said

Buck up
Shut the pluck up and
Get in the back

Our hometown paper
Called it a rampage
But it was more like a roundup
Of every stripe and age

By the time the sun went down
On that pretty day with warm weather
Every rude and rowdy soul in town
Felt that Impala's worn leather

The cheerleaders hazing the JV team
The uppity Social Studies faculty
The farmers gossiping at Lupita's
Those church ladies talking trash over margaritas
The kids lighting firecrackers down at The Slough
The stoners getting high behind The Lucky Bamboo
Those hippies growing marijuana up at The Squat
Dr. "Handsy"
Even Jim-John Gillott

Sometimes you feed your children
Cake for breakfast
Sometimes you fall short 
Simply doing your best

Even though some called it
An abomination
Mom got everybody to
Their destination

As moms will do
She taught us to

Buck up
Shut the Pluck up and
Get in the back
