Oh Mama
Debbie was a strong girl, with long brown hair She had those devil green eyes that didn’t seem to care With my intentions good, she made me do so wrong But you should see Debbie dance, when we played our favorite song
And I said
Oh Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done?
She said
No son, I can’t, but you’ll always be my son
I said
Oh no Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done?
She said
Darling that’s OK, cause you’re not the only one…
Well Ronnie had a shotgun, he had his father’s eye He’d point it straight up at the heavens, said he’d make those angels cry Well I just wanted to see the tears fall from up above But they only fall from my own eyes, now he’s no one to speak of
And I said
Oh Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done?
She said
No son, I can’t, but you’ll always be my son
I said
Oh no Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done?
She said
Darling that’s OK, cause you’re not the only one…
One open road, nowhere to run… And if I’ve got a future it’s in you, my son.

Well Bobby was a drinker, he was heavy into booze. He likes the Jack and the Jim, mixes Johnny Walker in, But the wise found him some bad news Well I swear I didn’t drink too much, I just live like I’m alive. And Bobby I’m sorry didn’t mean to steal your glory, but that night I had to drive…
And I said Oh Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done? She said No son, I can’t, but you’ll always be my son I said Oh no Mama, can’t you see what I’ve done? She said Darling that’s OK, Darling that’s OK, Darling that’s OK, cause you’ll always, you’ll always be my son…
