Oh Momma

Oh momma (x2) I was waiting for the deputy to point his trusty gun at me I was ready to bid this world so long I told him well he can go to hell if he thinks he’s getting those cuffs on me The only place I’m going’s the place I belong With my momma (x2) It wasn’t long before the backup arrived and surrounded me And my little knife I said, ‘Momma, I’m so sorry how this has to end’ And then the deputy gave the call that they should deploy the non-lethal I told them that violence was a cop’s only friend Then the muzzle flashed And I hit the ground Barely made five steps Before I heard the sound And when finally I awoke Well, I cried, I cried, I cried ‘Causes my momma was still not at my side Oh momma (x2) The deputy told that they’d barely saved me and I told him that I wish they’d just let me die I’ve seen worser people getting killed for less All I did was cut the girl I loved, ‘cause she told me that she’d fallen for some other guy Oh, what’s a boy to do when he’s got no-one left? Now when I fall asleep I still hear the sounds Of her plead and weep And the guns go bang But when eventually I awake Well, I cry, I cry, I cry ‘Causes my momma is still not at my side Oh momma (x4)
