Mama Said (Live at Red Gate Recorders)

[Verse 1]
Mama said the tears might stick around
Write it down in a song to drown them out
But on days like this I’m thinking of him
And all the lovin’ that I miss, now he’s gone
And I know these words can't stop the bleedin’
Can't feel the things that lovers feel on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Mama said, mama said, mama said

[Chorus]
Let the tears dry on their own
Let them burn my heart no more, ooh

[Verse 2]
Mama said the tears might stick around
Piece by piece I’m breaking all my vows
But on days like this I’m thinking of him
And all the lovin’ that I miss, now he’s gone
Every emotion that I’ve been through
Can't do the things that lovers do on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Mama said, mama said, mama said

[Chorus]
Let the tears dry on their own
Let them burn my heart no more, ooh

[Bridge]
Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry
Sing a song, say it’s love, say it’s alright
Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry
Sing a song no more

Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry
Sing a song, say it’s love, say it’s alright
Let the tears, let the tears, let the tears dry
Sing a song no more

[Chorus]
Let the tears dry on their own
Let them burn my heart no more, ooh

[Outro]
Mama said the tears might stick around
