A Song for Mama - Casey Daniels Band

The sun was coming up, I was coming back down

Mama called my phone, and said «Son what happened now?»

Whiskey on my breath, smelling just like a bar

I could hear mama crying, I think I broke her heart

I’m sorry mama for all the pain I put you through

All the nights you were praying, I should’ve prayed too

You gave me your heart;

I gave nothing back to you

I’m sorry mama, for all the pain I put you through

Went off the deep end, getting high and I’ve been drinking

Told mama goodbye, dammit I’m leaving

Cocaine in my blood stream, baptized in whiskey

The night I wrecked my truck, the good lord was with me

I could feel my heart racing, and I’m slowly dying

In the back of my mind I could hear mama crying

I’m sorry mama for all the pain I put you through

All the nights you were praying, I should’ve prayed too

You gave me your heart;

I gave nothing back to you

I’m sorry mama, for all the pain I put you through

I got these scars, and I got these tattoos

But these blue eyes, mama I got from you

These two hands taught me how to pray

I count my blessings, more every day

I’m sorry mama for all the pain I put you through

All the nights you were praying, I should’ve prayed too

You live like an angel, for a sinner like me

You loved me through it all I was a burned out fiend

You gave me your heart;

I gave nothing back to you

I’m sorry mama, for all the pain I put you through

I’m sorry mama, for all the pain I put you through
