Gone to Mama's

Three days two dozen counties
A couple tears along the way
But who the hell is counting?
He says she's two faced
She says he's a savage
They're needing more than a little space
It's beyond salvage
She's gone to mama's where the grass is greener
She made a promise
She'll go back when she needs her
But that old headstone is grayer than the hair that needed sweeping
But crying about mama beats crying bout his leaving

Oh I piled up all my pennies
But I still can't buy more time
Oh I'm riled up and ready
For another premature goodbye
I ain't bound but I ain't free guess I'm something in between
She says everyone I've ever loved is dead or dead to me
Oh everyone I've ever loved is dead or dead to me

Like a freeway without a shoulder
Broke down from all the weight
The lord's been putting on her
Like a young girl trying to be a lady
She's an actress grown tired of masquerading
She's gone to mama's where the air is thinner
She'll take the high road she oughta
If she'll make it there by dinner
But that old headstone is colder than the food at this here next stop
But crying there with mama beats crying at a rest stop

Oh I piled up all my pennies
But I still can't buy more time
Oh I'm riled up and ready
For another premature goodbye
I ain't bound but I ain't free guess I'm something in between
She says everyone I've ever loved is dead or dead to me
Oh everyone I've ever loved is dead or dead to me

Oh I piled up all my pennies but I still can't buy more time
Oh I'm riled up and ready for another premature goodbye
I ain't lost but I ain't found
Well at least I'm still around
Cause everyone I've ever loved is laying in the ground
Oh everyone I've ever loved is
