VERSE:
Em
His eyes are bloodshot

 Em
He's loaded and locked

 Em
Thumbing through Revelation down at Antioch

 Em
Can't call the law 'cause the sheriff is his kin

 Em
And there'll be hell to pay when he comes stumblin' in

           Am
Leave it alone
REFRAIN:
  C                B                Em  Em
'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
VERSE:
Em
He used to beat her real good, I could hear the screams and yells

Em
And that ain't somethin you can fix with J-B Weld

Em
I hate him so much even though I bear his name

Em
I can't take him right now but one day that's gonna change

       Am
When I get grown
REFRAIN:
  C                B                Em  Em
'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
BREAK:
C                      Am       G
 Hide the bruises and hide the scars

C                     Am       G
 Hide your tears hide who you are

 C                           Am                B   B7
Smile for the camera and pretend it's a happy home
VERSE:
Em
I got in a little trouble on the day I turned sixteen

Em
Got busted stealing cars at the Dairy Queen

 Em
They say I'm a product of my raising

Em
Now I'm working for Uncle Sam

Em
But how am I gonna be all I can be when I don't know who I am

          Am
And I'm alone
REFRAIN:
  C                B                Em  Em
'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
VERSE:
Em
I'm getting stronger, I'm getting mean

Em
I'm learning about killing, I'm learning about me

Em
I'm learning to survive out here in the sand

Em
I'm thinking about Mama, I'm thinking about recompense

           Am
So I carry on
REFRAIN:
  C                B                Em  Em
'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone
BREAK:
C                       Am     G
 Let the rain wash the blood away

        C                          Am      G
Is the blood of the lamb really enough to save

    C                         Am                   B    B7
Is someone like me with everything that I've done wrong?
INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO: Em Em Em Em VERSE:
 Em
They got me in Coffield

Em
I'm locked up tight

 Em
Guess I had a little blood lust from the Fullajuh nights

     Em
I'm trapped in the wreckage, standing in the flames

 Em
Wrapped up in something that was never gonna change

            Am
But then I came home
OUTRO:
 C              B                Em  Em
Now Mama don't cry that daddy's gone

        Am
Then I came home

 C              B                Em  Em
Now Mama don't cry that daddy's gone

 Em                Em
(Now daddy's gone)
