What it is
"Mr. Mom" is a 2004 single by country band Lonestar from their album Let's Be Us Again, written by Ron Harbin, Richie McDonald and Don Pfrimmer. It describes a father who has become the stay-at-home parent while his wife goes out to work, comically overwhelmed by the chaos of raising the kids. It was the band's tenth No.
