Mama’s Not Here Lyrics by His & Hers

Family Land

2019

[Verse 1]
Mama loved drinking, Mama loved men
My little mind could not comprehend
Knew other mamas, they would tuck their child in
Mine didn't want me, she'd rather have sin
[Verse 2]
My dear old daddy lived his whole life in fear
Stared at the TV, stayed drunk in his chair
I don't know why I asked him, oh I didn't want to know
I said: where is Mama? He said: boy, I don't know
[Chorus]
Mama's not here, son. Mama's not here
I know you've been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they're supposed to be there
My Mama wasn't - Lord, she didn't carе
[Verse 3]
Drove down to Georgia to see what Mama'd becomе
She'd pickled her liver, and she'd smoked out her lungs
I said: Mama, how you doin'? Oh, and she just stared
I can see it in her eyes that my Mama's not there
[Chorus]
Mama's not here, son. Mama's not here
I know you've been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they're supposed to be there
My Mama wasn't - Lord, she didn't care
[Verse 4]
When I got to heaven, I looked around
The pearls on the ceiling and gold on the ground
Right up before me, Daddy's standing there
He's all alone, no my Mama's not there
[Chorus]
Mama's not here, son. Mama's not here
I know you've been waiting for all of these years
Mamas and Daddys, they're supposed to be there
My Mama wasn't - Lord, she didn't care
