Mama Shelter

[Verse]
My baby brother is city crawling
Gonna stake his own
My mama shelters cross the country
Saying, "Babes, come on home"
My father is counting a fortune
More than he’s ever known
The eyes that blamed the distance of the ocean
Stopped saying, "Honey, come on, come on"

[Chorus]
The pressure lies within the pride that’s losing some
The time I spend on other lives becomes less fun
I thank the luck I’ve always had in starting up
But I got half a mind to move away and give it up

[Verse]
Got some loving arms holding me tight
Some right that came from some wrong
Your smoking eyes put a worry in me
I’d like to see you feel at home
Got a letter from beautiful Sara
Saying she’s feeling awfully down
Moving around from place to place
Chin up while she’s saving face
But I don’t like the thought of her walking around the city crying

[Chorus]
The pressure lies within the pride that’s losing some
The time I spend on other lives becomes less fun
I thank the luck I’ve always had in starting up
But I got half a mind to move away and give it up

[Chorus]
The pressure lies within the pride that’s losing some
The time I spend on other lives becomes less fun
I thank the luck I’ve always had in starting up
But I got half a mind to move away and give it up
