Chuck Prophet - What Can a Mother Do lyrics

She was an only child - born to run By the time her shoes wore out she was giving blood She was unwanted in seventeen states with the engine light on and Alaskan plates What can a mother do when she knows her baby's gone What can a mother do her baby's never coming home He was the youngest of seven kids had to fight for every crumb he was lucky to get He learned to work with the little that he had By the time he joined the service he was three times a dad What can a mother do when she knows her baby's gone What can a mother do her baby's never coming home Jesus on the billboard, heaven on high We smashed our fists like gla** against the sky It's enough to make you run all night long through the yellow-orange lights into the car alarms What can a mother do when she knows her baby's gone What can a mother do her baby's never coming home
