[Verse 1]
Between the blinds
Every other line
Is darkness keepin' tabs on me
Sunday is holy, son
He's on your [?]
Callin' out towards heaven

[Chorus]
And I'm callin' out to
Mama, take your time
I'm not caught up in it
Mama, take your time
I don't know if ever I'll be

[Verse 2]
Always headin' home but I'm never there
I don't know why it's so hard gettin' back to you
Another day in your nightgown, another branch hangin' low
I know your hand are tired, so it goes

[Chorus]
Mama, take your time
I'm not caught up in it
Mama, take your time
I don't know if ever I'll be
Mama, take your time
I'm not caught up in it
Mama, take your time
I don't know if ever I'll be

[Verse 3]
Save a place for me, Mama
In your long line of regret
And I've come to be like you
And I know that you hate that

[Verse 4]
So I'm headed home
And I hope you're there
And I never meant to be this
I never meant to be this

[Outro]
Mama, take your time
Mama, take your time
Mama, take your time
Mama, take your time
I'm not caught up in it
Mama, take your time
I don't know if ever I'll be
Mama, take your time
I'm not caught up in it
Mama, take your time
I don't know if ever I'll be
Mama, take your time
