Momma, oh Momma, I met a girl
She came into my heart and shook my world
All my dreams fell like apples from a tree
Like leaves they went a-blowin' in the breeze
She came into my house and she stole my chairs
She even made off with the dinnerware
Now I sit on the floor just like an old dog
Now I eat with my hands like Neanderthal
But you say everything's gonna be okay
'Cause Jesus is in charge and He's here to stay
And He can feed five thousand with a loaf of bread
And He can raise his best friend from the dead
And I pour my liquor on His feet
And I made Him a promise that I can't keep
Momma, oh Momma, you know what they said?
That all them hurting people are better off dead
I know they meant the people that's dying of cancer
But I got pain in my soul and there ain't no answers
All the academics are looking in their books
And all the young dreamers, they've done turn into crooks
If life is a race then I sure ain't winning
If life is a ride, I wish I'd stop spinning
But you say everything is gonna be okay
Because Jesus is in charge and He's here to stay
And He can feed five thousand with a loaf of bread
And He can raise his best friend from the dead
And I pour my liquor on His feet
And I made Him a promise that I can't keep
Momma, oh Momma, I bought a gun
I'm gonna shoot them demons, make them run
It's not too big and it's not too small
But it'll get the job done and make an elephant fall
Sometimes I like to hold it in my hands
And my mind gets to racing and I make some plans
But they're top secret and you wouldn't want to hear
And the last thing I wanna do is cause you fear
But you say everything is gonna be okay
Because Jesus is in charge and He's here to stay
And He can feed five thousand with a loaf of bread
And He can raise His best friend from the dead
And I pour my liquor on His feet
And I made Him a promise that I can't keep
