Mama Ain’t Coming Home
Mama went out to the supermarket
To buy her son some new shoes for kindergarten
Stray bullets to her head and to her heart then
Now her son's all alone in a shopping cart yeah

He’s been searching up
And down
And all around
Mama don't play hide and seek
Mama is all that he needs

But now
The story
Never ends
Mama is all that he needs
But we've been counting one two threes like

One two
Check the news
Three four
Lock the doors
Five six
Propose a fix
But who has got the heart to tell him

Sеven eight
Thoughts and prayers from
Ninе ten
Congressmen
By eleven twelve
We’re back in hell
Who has got the heart to tell him
Mama ain't coming home

Mama ain't coming home

Mama walked among the saints devoted
For her son she'd do anything she could have
But love was never enough to fight off bullets
Her life cut short from a cruel and crazy world yeah

Now he's been searching up
And down
And all around
Mama don't play hide and seek
Mama is all that he needs

But now
The story
Never ends
Mama is all that he needs
But we've been counting one two threes like

One two
Check the news
Three four
Lock the doors
Five six
Propose a fix
But who has got the heart to tell him
Seven eight
Thoughts and prayers from
Nine ten
Congressmen
By eleven twelve
We're back in hell
Who has got the heart to tell him

Mama ain’t coming home

Mama ain’t coming home

Mama
Mm
Mama ain't coming home

No no
No no no
No no
No no no

Mama ain’t coming home

Mama ain't coming home
