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
