The Man Who Made My Mama Cry

(billy lawson/lee ann womack/dale dodson)

All youve ever been
Is a call every now and then
From some old pay phone
After youd hang up
Lord, shed take it rough
And want to be alone
I know you from the picture
Of you and her together
Taken at a fair in 68
Youve gotta lot of nerve to think
You can walk right in and take her place

To me youre just the man who made my mama cry
Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
All I know about you is how to live without you
And I can see I have your eyes
But all youve ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry

When she took off my training wheels
Held a job and cooked the meals
Where were you?
Dont even start
She did her part
And yours too
Now youre back to play the part
That was missin in my heart
When I was growin up
Well, youre a little late
I dont have the time to waste on catchin up

To me youre just the man who made my mama cry
Someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
All I know about you is how to live without you
And I can see I have your eyes
But all youve ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry

All I know about you is how to live without you
And I can see I have your eyes
But all youve ever been
Is the man who made my mama cry
