RWB
Mama, I'm so sorry, but I've been drinkin' again
Could you please do me a favor?
Don't tell Dad, don't tell your friends
Do you ever wonder what happens after life?
Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night
Men taking their last breath, say to tell their wives
"Would you tell her that I loved her? Tell her that I tried?
Tell her that her face was what made me see the truth,
That when I lied down for her freedom
I saw red, white, and blue?"
Ooh when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Mama, don't you worry
'Cause you raised me up to fight
But if you could just please, pray for me?
To get some rest tonight?
Do you ever wonder what happens after life?
Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night
Men taking their last breath, fading in the light
Say "tell my Mama I'm so sorry, but I ain't comin' home this time
Tell her that she raised me to always seek the truth
That when I laid down for her freedom
I saw red, white, and blue
Ooh when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Ooh and when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Mama don't you worry,
'Cause you raised me up to fight
But if you would just please, pray for me
To get some rest tonight
Could you please do me a favor?
Don't tell Dad, don't tell your friends
Do you ever wonder what happens after life?
Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night
Men taking their last breath, say to tell their wives
"Would you tell her that I loved her? Tell her that I tried?
Tell her that her face was what made me see the truth,
That when I lied down for her freedom
I saw red, white, and blue?"
Ooh when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Mama, don't you worry
'Cause you raised me up to fight
But if you could just please, pray for me?
To get some rest tonight?
Do you ever wonder what happens after life?
Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night
Men taking their last breath, fading in the light
Say "tell my Mama I'm so sorry, but I ain't comin' home this time
Tell her that she raised me to always seek the truth
That when I laid down for her freedom
I saw red, white, and blue
Ooh when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Ooh and when I meet my maker
I will save a place for you
Ooh and I know it hurts
But my time down here is through
Mama don't you worry,
'Cause you raised me up to fight
But if you would just please, pray for me
To get some rest tonight
