Last night, mama cried, calls her child, didn't come home last night, She's acting real wild, always high, slowly destroying her life, Mama stays up at night, wondering why, life's being so unkind, She lives a pure life, prays day and night, to make everything alright, La la la la la la, oh la la la, don't cry, La la la la la la, oh la la la, wipe the tears from your eyes, La la la la la la, oh la la la, pray for your child, La la la la la la, oh la la, things will go better, Though the road is rough, mama can't give up, though she feels the strain, Never give up on the wayward ways, make you feel ashamed, The battle is rough, the battle is tough, take time, keep the faith, moments in time, fade away, La la la la la, oh la la, don't cry, La la la la la la, oh la la, wipe the tears from your eyes, La la la la la la, oh la la, pray for your child, La la la la la la, oh la la, things will go better, Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry, Things will go better, La la la la la, oh la la, don't cry, La la la la la la, oh la la, wipe the tears from your eyes, La la la la la la, oh la la, pray for your child, La la la la la la, oh la la, things will go better, La la la la la la, oh la la, La la la la la la, oh la la,
