Momma Said 03:08
Momma said don't go around chasing demons Because they are the ones Who always drag you down, down to hell Momma said don't go around chasing demons Because she wants to be the one who drags you down Momma, you've had a rough year But I will lend you an ear Now Momma said don't go around chasing Jesus Because he is the one Who always let's you down Momma said don't go around chasing Jesus Because she wants to be the one who lets you down Momma, you've had a rough year But I will lend you an ear Oooh, oooh, ladadadadaa Momma, I swear I won't go chasing either Because you've been the one Who's always let me down Momma, I swear I won't go chasing either Because I wouldn't want to ever let you down

Well, I... I finally learned to sing in a key besides "E" 'Cause you've left me freezing But I don't want to be on my own, all alone But I will not make a point To make you, to make you freeze Like you freeze me You're liquid nitrogen I won't move till you say when But I will not make a point To make you... Well, I hope she is what you wanted from me You replaced your key of "C", wait that's me And it's left me freezing But I don't want to be on my own, all alone But I will not make a point To make you, to make you freeze Like you freeze me You're liquid nitrogen I won't move till you say when But I will not make a point To make you, to make you freeze Oh boy you'll freeze Oh boy you'll freeze Right where you are Freeze, oh boy you'll freeze Oh boy you'll freeze Right where you are Whoa and don't come around and say That you sailed the frozen seas To be with me and all you are And don't come around and say That you sailed the frozen seas To be with me me 'Cause all you do is just for you Oh boy you'll freeze Oh boy you'll freeze Right where you are

Oh Momma, I've been cryin' But every time you go And lay your head down Your sleep, it will not come easily And just know when you lay your head down That those dreams, they're not what they seem Oh Momma, I've been cryin' every single day But you don't have to say That you love me They're just words you say But every time you go How it breaks my heart to know They're words you say Ooh, ooh, words you say Ooh, ooh, words you say And I know when you lay your head down That your sleep will not come easily And just know when you lay your head down That those dreams, well they're not what they seem Oh Momma, I've been cryin' every single day But you don't have to say That you love me They're just words you say But every time you go How it breaks my heart to know They're words you say Ooh, ooh, words you say Ooh, ooh, words you say Ooh, ooh, words you say Momma, I've been cryin'

It's not fair to you that I can't be As in love with you as you are with me So take back this ring, I can't wear it anymore I finally slept through the night, I threw it on the floor I got your call on my answering machine You sounded at peace, if I could only have seen You sitting alone, drinking in the dark Saying your goodbye to your broken heart Your momma found you in the morning Your heart shot clean out By a gun you kept to keep the bad things out I never did think that you could take things this far To ease that pain that I caused in your heart But when a gun goes off And there's no one around Does it make a sound? Well, are you listening now? When a gun goes off And there's no one here You may not hear the sound But it will resonate all of your years, all of your years It's been a few years now since you've been gone And my mind's stopped racing long enough to put it in a song Your memory, it chills and it haunts me You ended you pain, it's come full circle to me But when a gun goes off And there's no one around Does it make a sound? Well, are you listening now? When a gun goes off And there's no one here You may not hear the sound But it will resonate all of your years, all of your years This will resonate all of my years

The Wolves 03:40
The wolves, they came in to my life just like a song Howling notes and words my soul had never ever known But I don't know what I don't know But I don't have a clue What's been going on Keeps me from love you But I don't have the right And you don't have the right The wolves, they feast upon my skin, my hair, my clothes Ripping what we've got to pieces, they never stop or slow But they don't know what they don't know But I don't have a clue What's been going on Keeps me from love you But I don't have the right And you don't have the right
