Mama Lyrics Meanings
by Hill Figs

Mama protect me, I'm going to far
I ain't got a hope or gas in my car
And I won't be home soon, if I'm ever home at all
You can tell Pa I'm sorry for what I've become
I never meant to hurt you or ever anyone
But now I must face to the facts that I've caused
Just tryin to make it outside of the law

I got more guts than brains you used to say
But the heart that you spoke of has gone away
With the men that I've sent to lay in the ground
And the ones that I will, who now hunt me down

Mama pray for me if you are inclined
Cause God's just a curse - we ain't talked in a while
But tonight as I walk by the light of the moon
I'll be looking for him, thinking about you

They say I'm a sinner, that I'm headed for hell
But with the chill of this holler, it's too soon to tell
If I'm already where they say I'm goin yet
But I can't slow down the way I must race
For the man on the TV keeps 'a showin my face
As a murderin outlaw on the run on down the line

Mama I'm coming home late, wait up for me
I'll be in your arms in the morning or hanging from a tree
But I have no fear left in my bones
This is my final fight
Mama I'm coming home

Holed up in some old moonshiner's shack
With a gun in my hand and a wall to my back
They got lights flashing round me
Mama I'm weary and tired
They got me cornered, they got me for dead
But I can't let it happen that way
Got an empty round left in my pistol
Mama I'm going away

Remember me healthy, remember me kind
And I hope I will see you there after a while
But please take your time mama in coming to me
