The Man Who Made My Mama Cry
All you've ever been
Is a call every now and then
From some old pay phone
After you'd hang up
Lord she'd take it rough
And want to be alone
I know you from the picture
Of you and her together
Taken at a fair in '68
You've gotta lot of nerve to think
You can walk right in and take her place
To me you're just
The man who made my mama cry
Someone who broke
A lot of promises
In his time
All I know about you
Is how to live without you
And I can see I have your eyes
But all you've ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry
When she took off my training wheels
Held a job and cooked the meals
Where were you
Don't even start
She did her part
And yours too
Now you're back to play the part
That was missin' in my heart
When I was growing up
Well you're a little late
I don't have the time to waste on catchin' up
All I know about you
Is how to live without you
I can see I have your eyes
But all you've ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry
Is a call every now and then
From some old pay phone
After you'd hang up
Lord she'd take it rough
And want to be alone
I know you from the picture
Of you and her together
Taken at a fair in '68
You've gotta lot of nerve to think
You can walk right in and take her place
To me you're just
The man who made my mama cry
Someone who broke
A lot of promises
In his time
All I know about you
Is how to live without you
And I can see I have your eyes
But all you've ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry
When she took off my training wheels
Held a job and cooked the meals
Where were you
Don't even start
She did her part
And yours too
Now you're back to play the part
That was missin' in my heart
When I was growing up
Well you're a little late
I don't have the time to waste on catchin' up
All I know about you
Is how to live without you
I can see I have your eyes
But all you've ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry
