Troubled teenage runaway
Greyhound station, rainy day
She's gonna make her parents pay
For that hole she can't fill up
Left behind a trail of tears
Feelin' old beyond her years
Pride and anger brought her here
Left her starvin' for love
In her mind she's mixin' up
Three parts regret, two cups of sorrow
A tablespoon of guilt with the bitter taste of shame
She's leavin' out forgiveness and hope for tomorrow
Throwin' in a dash of fear and a pinch or two of blame
That's a recipe for insanity
Mom and dad glued to the telephone
Ten months of wonderin' where they went wrong
You reach a point where life goes on
Still they're not givin' up
Chicken pot pie is his favorite dish
Mom's standin' in the kitchen fixin' it
There's something else she'd rather fix
There's no end to a mother's love
In her mind she's mixin' up
Three parts regret, two cups of sorrow
A tablespoon of guilt with the bitter taste of shame
She's leavin' out forgiveness and hope for tomorrow
Throwin' in a dash of fear and a pinch or two of blame
That's a recipe for insanity
One night the phone rings two am
She says can I come home again
You just tell us where and when
And baby we'll come pick you up
Yeah they got some patchin' up to do
They're about to face some painful truth
But something tells me they'll make it through
With the helping hands of love
They'll be mixing up
Three parts joy, two cups of understanding
A tablespoon of tenderness with the sweet taste of trust
They'll throw in some forgiveness and hope for tomorrow
Tears will turn to laughter and all blame will turn to dust
That's a remedy for insanity
That's a recipe, more or less, for happiness
