[Verse 1]
It's raining in the mountains
It's heading this way
It's supposed to rain tomorrow
Or the next day
I'm sure I'll get along baby
But a whole lot has changed
Yours is the first voice I've heard in days

[Verse 2]
Oh but mama if you don't mind
Can we talk about something else?
Mama, please don't come over
Saying nothing you can't help
You'll be the first to know when I start to come around
I'm not drowning I'm just seeing how long I can stay down

[Chorus]
And mama, she's gone
And just a picture in a drawer
The kind of hurt that takes a rainy day and hurts that much more
Mama, she's gone

[Verse 3]
Well you know there's nothing tying me to this town now that she's gone
Don't know why I ever come back
Guess I just tagged along
Can't believe that once I called this place my home
'Cause I'm walking the streets and all I see is ghosts
[Chorus]
Mama, she's gone
And just a picture in a drawer
The kind of hurt that takes a rainy day and hurts that much more
Mama, she's gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Lonely, lonely and wondering where I am
And I know the love I see is over long before it began

[Verse 4]
And now the rain's getting closer
Midnight's coming on
The wind seems to whisper
You fool you know she's gone
I still leave the gate unlatched just in case she staggers home
Mama said she was no good
And now she's gone
