Mama

All of the pain you've felt I hope you never have to feel it again And the night that you picked me up from jail And I swore I'd never do it again I'm sorry mama No woman should have to carry anyone Let alone her own son, yeah And all the times that the money ran out And we needed to be fed And all the nights that the winters got cold And you worked until your fingers bled I'm sorry mama No woman should have to do the things you've done She did 'em better than any man, yeah 'Cause mama I miss you And I wish that I could change Yeah I'd do anything I can For the lady who gave me my name And just know that it's not your fault Without you, I'd be nothing at all And all the times that you'd take me to papa's and grandma's And I'd stay all day And all the time that I spent on the farm Where all the other grandkids play I know you miss 'em Cause I miss 'em too, every day I'm sorry mama And all the times that i got kicked out And I didn't have a place to stay And all the nights that you'd lie in your bed Wide awake and you would pray I know I'm crazy And I'm so caught up in my ways I'm sorry mama 'Cause mama I love you And I think that I can change Yeah I'd do anything I can For the lady who gave me my name Just know that it's not your fault Without you, I'd be nothing at all 'Cause mama I miss you And I know that I can change Yeah I'd do anything I can For the lady who gave me my name Just know that it's not your fault Without you, I'd be nothing at all Oh I'd be nothing at all
