Why, Mama, Why

Artist: Buck Album: Hick Hop Favorites Listen / Download MP3 Lyrics: [Verse 1] I was a little boy with trusting eyes Watching you move through a world of lies You taught me lessons that no kid should learn Your broken compass, led you to wrong turns [Verse 2] Just thirteen years old when our family you broke Seventeen years old when my demon you woke To violence and rage Such that I never knew Following a path laid down by you. [chorus] Why, Mama, why did you live that way? Why, Mama, why did you make me pay? All these years behind these walls Your evil lessons caused my fall Why, Mama, why? [violent guitar solo] [Verse 3] You married a man from your darkened past A twisted love, that couldn't last. When his hands turned cruel in the dead of night You turned to me to make it right [Verse 4] That hate filled night my fists became your tool A young man's anger, a mother's fuel All these years now I continue to pay All these years now My life wastes away [Chorus] Why, Mama, why did you live that way? Why, Mama, why did you make me pay? All these years behind these walls Your evil lessons caused my fall Why, Mama, why? [slow, mournful guitar solo] [Final Chorus] Why, Mama, why did you live that way? Why, Mama, why did you make me pay? Now you're gone, but I remain Carrying this burden bound by chains Why, Mama, why? Why, Mama... why? Genre: country Style Prompt: Slow Country Rock, male vocals, distorted electric guitar.
