Dear Mama, where did you go
Must have been lonely going down that road
Dear Mama, didn't say goodbye
Guess I'll blame it on the money being low and you being high
Dear Mama, your bed is made
And I'll pray you mend some things and find some peace before it's too late
Lord, get me on my feet
So I don't end up broken in the street
Lord, show me the way
To that cowboy and his lady, there I'll stay
Dear Mama, where goes the time
Our picture's getting blurry in my mind
Dear Mama, I wish you well
I think I'm doing fine, but I can't tell
Dear Mama, I made my peace
It took a lot of my eyes closed and on my knees
Lord, get me all my feet
So I don't end up broken in the street
Lord, show me the way
To that cowboy and his lady, there I'll stay
Dear Mama, where did you go
You must have been lonely going down that road
Lord, you got me on my feet
And I won't wait to thank you till we meet
And Lord, when is my day
Next to that cowboy and his lady is where I'll lay
