Momma why are you drinking all the time?

Did he hurt you so much you need all that wine?

I still live with him and I'm doing fine

He gave me those scars

It was someone else who was trapped in those bars

He's not the same man who burnt me with those cigars

The cuts on my face are now covered by a beard

He and I got clean, we got cleared

So you needing to drink so much is what I've always feared

Momma, I still love you

You'll never love him again I know that's true

I just wish you'd open your eyes so you could see what I do too.
