mama

Billy was a young boy
When he got his first guitar
he was dreamin about the big town
Headin out to be a star
Mama was proud to help him
She was proud to watch him play
but she didnt think Billy someday
Would turn and walk away
Sitting by the window
Waiting and hopin all the time
Billys coming home
But hes too far gone
All shes got are memories
And his letter in her hands
He said
Mama - dont care
Mama dont you cry
Im still your little good boy
Tryin to get it right
Mama - dont give up
When believins getting tough
Whatever Ill be doing, Ill be thinkin
Thinkin about your love
Billys got in trouble
Hes got deep down in despair
There was nobody believed in
The words he had to swear
He was too proud to make a phone call
And say Mama help me please
He just wrote another letter
He said Mama youre in my dreams
There shes sitting all alone
Still shes waiting for her little boy comin home
She feels so alone, listening to the radio
She thinks Billy is singin this song to her
He said
Mama - dont care
Mama dont you cry
Im still your little good boy
Tryin to get it right
Mama - dont give up
When believins getting tough
Whatever Ill be doing, Ill be thinkin
Thinkin about your love
What about the love you gave all these years
You aint got anything back
If theres a little chance to make it all undone
Id give you the love of a son
I owe you
Mama - dont care
Mama dont you cry
Im still your little good boy
Tryin to get it right
Mama - dont give up
When believins getting tough
Whatever Ill be doing, Ill be thinkin
Thinkin about your love
Mama - dont care
Mama dont you cry
Im still your little good boy
Tryin to get it right
Mama - dont give up
When believins getting tough
Whatever Ill be doing, Ill be thinkin
Thinkin about your love
