RWB Lyrics

Mama, I'm so sorry, but I've been drinkin' again

Could you please do me a favor?

Don't tell Dad, don't tell your friends

Do you ever wonder what happens after life?

Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night

Men taking their last breath, say to tell their wives

"Would you tell her that I loved her? Tell her that I tried?

Tell her that her face was what made me see the truth,

That when I lied down for her freedom

I saw red, white, and blue?"

Ooh when I meet my maker

I will save a place for you

Ooh and I know it hurts

But my time down here is through

Mama, don't you worry

'Cause you raised me up to fight

But if you could just please, pray for me?

To get some rest tonight?

Do you ever wonder what happens after life?

Well I see it when I close my eyes every single night

Men taking their last breath, fading in the light

Say "tell my Mama I'm so sorry, but I ain't comin' home this time

Tell her that she raised me to always seek the truth

That when I laid down for her freedom

I saw red, white, and blue

Ooh when I meet my maker

I will save a place for you

Ooh and I know it hurts

But my time down here is through

Ooh and when I meet my maker

I will save a place for you

Ooh and I know it hurts

But my time down here is through

Mama don't you worry,

'Cause you raised me up to fight

But if you would just please, pray for me

To get some rest tonight
