Mama, why do you Run my soul into the ground? Only for love, I'll let you Run my soul into the ground. From the time I wake, To the time I sleep, Cursin' and hollerin's the only sound.
Last night I dreamt That I could fly. I swear, you were watching me, And I could fly. Then I wondered, Who the hell did I think I am. I fell from the sky, by and by.
Mama! Please! I beg you Say those three words. My cries will silence If you just say those words! For love, I'll pretend The blows don't hurt And pick my soul up out the dirt.
