Mama, don’t cry, I’ll be alright
I been walking this road my whole damn life
You never saw it, you were blinded by your love
And I’m the only one to blame, I’m the one that messed it up
They say if you’re gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough
Guess I’m tough as it gets, But I’ve finally had enough
I know you prayed I’d find a better way
But choices I made brought me here today
Every mistake had a price I paid
These scars on my soul never fade away
But mama, your love never walked out the door
Even when I swore at God and believed no more
I’m tired of running, tired of the fight
Tired of shadows chasing me at night
If there’s mercy waiting on the other side
I pray I finally find some peace this time
One day my mind’s gonna quit its runnin’
All these demons through my head
Maybe I’ll finally get some sleep at night
Without the pills laying by my bed
I ain’t angry, I know it’s coming
I made my peace with what life brings
Just waiting to see where I’m going
To hell below, or if I get my wings
I spent years in the bottle, nights in the dark
Trading my soul for a shot at a spark
Now the fire’s burned out, and the smoke has cleared
And the man in the mirror’s the one I feared
I thought I was strong, but I was wrong
The weight of my sins been here all along
If forgiveness is real, Lord, I’ll take my share
If not, I’ll go down knowing mama still cared
One day my mind’s gonna quit its runnin’
All these demons through my head
Maybe I’ll finally get some sleep at night
Without the pills laying by my bed
I ain’t angry, I know it’s coming
I made my peace with what life brings
Just waiting to see where I’m going
To hell below, or if I get my wings
Don’t waste your prayers, don’t carry my blame
I lit my own fire, I walked through the flame
But mama, just know when my story ends
Your boy found a way to make peace again
Mama, don’t cry for me
I ain’t afraid no more
I’m just waitin’ on the answer
To what I never knew before
Just waiting to see where I’m going
To hell below, or if I get my wings
