Mama

Chayce Beckham

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
And 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
And just know that it's not your fault
Without you, I'd be nothing at all
Oh I'd be nothing at all
