I started drinking and actin' crazy
Way back in '65
Mama would pray and say he's my baby
Lord please keep him alive
Sister came home with two little children
Her man had left her alone
Mama knew too well the hurt she'd been feelin'
Cause Daddy'd been gone for so long
We all did our part to add to her pain
We all broke her heart but she never complained
Chorus:
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
I ain't touched a drink in 10 years
Sister remarried to a Good Ol' Boy
They don't live far from here
Mama's work is done
Now she's gone on home...
The words in our hearts
Are engraved on her stone
Chorus X 2
Mama, you loved a lot in your time
Way back in '65
Mama would pray and say he's my baby
Lord please keep him alive
Sister came home with two little children
Her man had left her alone
Mama knew too well the hurt she'd been feelin'
Cause Daddy'd been gone for so long
We all did our part to add to her pain
We all broke her heart but she never complained
Chorus:
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
I ain't touched a drink in 10 years
Sister remarried to a Good Ol' Boy
They don't live far from here
Mama's work is done
Now she's gone on home...
The words in our hearts
Are engraved on her stone
Chorus X 2
Mama, you loved a lot in your time
