Bradley Hathaway - Momma lyrics

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
