Mama loved drinking, Mama loved men
My little mind could not comprehend
Knew other mamas, they would tuck their child in
Mine didn’t want me, she’d rather have sin
My dear old daddy lived his whole life in fear
Stared at the TV, stayed drunk in his chair
I don’t know why I asked him, oh I didn’t want to know
I said: where is Mama? He said: boy, I don’t know
Mama’s not here, son. Mama’s not here
I know you’ve been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they’re supposed to be there
My Mama wasn’t – Lord, she didn’t carе
Drove down to Georgia to see what Mama’d becomе
She’d pickled her liver, and she’d smoked out her lungs
I said: Mama, how you doin’? Oh, and she just stared
I can see it in her eyes that my Mama’s not there
Mama’s not here, son. Mama’s not here
I know you’ve been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they’re supposed to be there
My Mama wasn’t – Lord, she didn’t care
When I got to heaven, I looked around
The pearls on the ceiling and gold on the ground
Right up before me, Daddy’s standing there
He’s all alone, no my Mama’s not there
Mama’s not here, son. Mama’s not here
I know you’ve been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they’re supposed to be there
My Mama wasn’t – Lord, she didn’t care
