Lyrics
Mama save me
Oh mama please
Don’t let father get ahold of me
He’s been drinking
Another bottle gone
Lord knows I didn’t do no wrong
I know he hurts you
See it in your eyes
Every day we fear for our lives
And you pray for change from god above
You pray for love
And you plead to be free with the Devil below
You’d give your soul
A few months later, I can recall
What was the worst night of them all
My father came home, drunk as can be
I remember what you said to me
Go fetch your brother, stay out of sight
This is all gonna to end tonight
And you pray for change from god above
You pray for love
And you plead to be free with the Devil below
You gave your soul
You did your damnedest to raise us right
I wish that you were here tonight
I’m having bad dreams where I’m my father
I have my own kid but I’m a monster
I started drinking after all I’ve seen
My wife and kid need more from me
So I pray for change from God above
I pray for love
And I plead to be free with the Devil below
I’d give my soul
