I was 17 when my mother died
She was such an angel
An angel in disguise
She was just a kid
When the devil came knocking
And daddy please don't hurt me
The demon in his eyes
Left home fell in love
Baby raising babies
The trailer park and tough times
She never had a choice
She fought a good fight
Building up a family
Trying to be a good wife
Then the rain came down
I can hear it in her lies
She's flying high tonight
Putting up the christmas tree
On the 4th of July
I can feel it in my soul
She's losing control
Momma come back
You're not alone
Momma come back
I miss you so
PTA on a Tuesday
Football on the weekends
She was such a good one
But only for a while
Trippin on painkillers
She never needed
But she couldn't feel the healing
Of simple plain love
Life can hit you hard like a freight train
Full speed ahead
And then you wish you were dead
All she ever wanted was a new light
But the hole she dug was
Too deep to climb
I can hear it in her lies
She's flying high tonight
Putting up the christmas tree
On the 4th of July
I can feel it in my soul
She's losing control
Momma come back
You're not alone
Momma come back
I miss you so
Oh I miss you momma
Momma come back
She left on a Friday
After I hugged her
I told her I loved her
Then she was gone
I can see her in the night
She's soaring high and bright
Like a runaway shooting star
On the studded silver sky
I can feel it in my soul
She's here with me I know
Momma come back
It ain't your fault
Momma come back
You're not alone
Momma come back
I miss you so
Momma come back
