"Mama's Worried" lyrics
"Mama's Worried"
Mama's worried all the time
She tells everyone she's fine
But she's hurting bad and worried so
She don't want no one to know
There's a rumbling below
I don't see, an unnatural glow
People with nowhere to go
And nothing in their eyes
We ain't seen daddy for a while
He walked away, his worried smile
Was the memory he gave to me
We don't know where he's gone
And mama's worried all the time
She tells everyone she's fine
But she's hurting bad and worried so
She don't want no one to know
People in their stylish clothes
They look at us and turn up their nose
A hunger deep inside me grows
And then it goes away
She starts singing in the morning
She works and sings all day
Singing sad, singing low
All while the worry goes away
And mama's worried all the time
She tells everyone she's fine
But she's hurting bad and worried so
She don't want no one to know

To where you've fallen to

Can I dream of you tonight?
Of before the fall
