Mamaw
You never lacked for nothing
And you kept me the same
I was a child
And you were growing old
Mama let you love me
And you staked your claim
I was a child in your household
Well, I heard you once drank some whiskey
And you let me fall
I couldn't've been more than a year old
After that you didn't touch no whiskey at all
I was a child in your household
On a winter hillside
We all recite the scriptures of belief
My brother's standing by my side
His shoulders are shaking in his grief
For Mamaw
Mamaw
God has many mansions, or so I'm told
I was a child in your household
Well, I got the news by message
On the station phone
Mother of my mother
She was Grandpa's bride
They needed me beside them
Saying, "Life goes on"
The love she gave us, it will abide
On a winter hillside
I pour out now a fountain of my grief
My brother's standing by my side
Passing through us, there is one belief
In Mamaw
Mamaw
Is your soul at home now?
With manifold
I was a child in your household
Didn't you find my sheriff's badge
When I was seven?
Didn't you let me drive your car
When I was eleven and a half?
Didn't we laugh?
Didn't we laugh?
Didn't we laugh?
Grandpa gets up
And Mama helps him stand
It's hit her so hard, she can't talk
Everyone moves on as if by silent command
Oh, Lord, what a lonesome road to walk
On a winter hillside
Two gravediggers lounge upon the lawn
They wait there so politely
Till the last one in the family is gone
Mamaw
Mamaw
There's a change in the light
And now the day grows old
I was a child in your household
Oh, God has many mansions
Or so I'm told
I was a child in your household
Mamaw
Mamaw
Mamaw
And you kept me the same
I was a child
And you were growing old

After that you didn't touch no whiskey at all
