My mother fled from our home
Cause she had to survive
We only had second hand
But I know that she tried
Sometimes I sit at her door
Hear her crying at night
She worked herself like a dog just to keep on the lights
She never would trust anyone But he said that he'd love her better
Took what was given And just kept on living
Just cause she done it forever
Mama,
no, I don't say it But I want you to know
You deserve that kind of love That I know he doesn't show
And I know you don't ask him for nothing
But damn, it is time
She
feels alive on the beach with the wind in her hair
She says she loves Pensacola But never gets there
I thought she needed someone to care
I showed her the cry on and lean on
But no one was there
She never would trust anyone
But he said that he'd love her better
Took what was given
And just kept on living
Just cause she done it
forever Mama,
no, I don't say it
But I want you to know You deserve that kind of love
That I know he doesn't show And I know you don't ask him for nothing
But damn, it is time
