Swift - Hearse Cadillac lyrics

[Intro:] This song right here is for my mama It's the hardest song I ever wrote in my life I must have cried a million tears I wasn't going to write it at first but I figured if I could do a song recognizing everything else It's only right to write about the woman who gave me life So this is dedicated to my mama and all the other mama's that aren't here today Straight from the heart, straight from the heart [Verse 1: Willie D] I got a call in the waiting room from the nurse Telling me to come upstairs cause my mamma's worse I was at my baby's bedside in a flash But the look on their faces told me she pa**ed And everything went blank, I couldn't think I couldn't believe even though she wasn't breathin' And the life support machine was turned off And the tubes removed from her nose and mouth I started tripping and my step father walks in And states, let her go son she's in a better place She ain't suffering no more, let her go I won't I should feel good for her but I don't Cause she didn't deserve to go like that G I wonder why the good Lord didn't take me But instead, I was picking up the telephone Calling up sisters and brothers telling them mama gone [Hook:] Drove a hearse, hearse Cadillac Crowd of people gathered 'round dressed in black Drove the hearse, hearse Cadillac It had my precious mother in the back [Verse 2: Willie D] Ever since you left here things done changed Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving ain't the same Without your bu*ton smile and sister ? And everybody missed you at the family reunion Especially me, I tried to play strong Looked around didn't see you, couldn't stay long Cause there's tears in my eyes from your d**h And if I'm going to cry I'mma cry by myself It hurts me to drive to your grave sight And visit on your birthday, but it's only right I can't believe that your name is on the stone Buried in the ground, when mother's day roll around Now that you're gone I realise How much pain and misery you went through because of me Going to jail, raising hell getting kicked Out of school for fights and keeping you up late at night When you had to go to work the next morning So I could have food to eat and shoes on my feet And a place to stay but being young and dumb I couldn't understand it so I took it for granted I had a wedding and you missed it boo My little baby girl blew a kiss at you She never got to see her granny But I told her but your spirit and if she call your name you can hear it [Hook:] Drove the hearse, hearse Cadillac Crowd of people gathered 'round dressed in black Drove the hearse, hearse Cadillac It had my precious mother in the back [Verse 3: Willie D] Be good to your momma while you still got her Hug her and kiss her cause when she gone you're gonna miss her I wish I could have went first Cause words can't express the pain that I felt when I saw the hearse Drive off with my momma inside Taking her for a last ride I nearly died, cause that's how I felt boss Putting the gun to my head and blowing the mother f**er off But she would have wanted me to be strong Though teared up, not ? up, and lift my chin up She would have told me get your money, keep making moves And take care of your nieces and your nephews Mama you're gone, it's hard being without you It ain't a day that goes by I don't think about you Everybody said count your blessings Well, but they don't know how I feel [Hook:] Drove the hearse, hearse Cadillac Crowd of people gathered 'round dressed in black Drove the hearse, hearse Cadillac It had my precious mother in the back [Outro:] There it is I remember the day the lord took you away It was yesterday, whole world collapsed It was like all the ?? and the resentment that I felt for you When you treated me bad didn't even matter You having problems with your momma, you got issues? Y'all talk it out, call her go visit Do something right now cause tomorrow ain't promised It won't be the same when momma gone, nobody like momma, nobody
