I feel the last rays of summer shining on my broken ass
Oh, Mama, I should call you, tell you why it's been so long
But Mama, you've seen every late-night dream roll over when the sun comes on
Some women hold me like I'm wicked, some women hold me like I'm a saint
Sometimes they can hear my heartbeat, oh and sometimes they can't
Oh, Mama, I should call you, tell you how they've been to your boy
But Mama, there's too much, or never enough to dig out what's left of my joy
I just keep on erasing
I hear that reaper pacing
Waiting for his time
For me to close my eyes
Running from your demons sometimes feels like swimming through air
You use the darkness to help you, but it's the darkness that put 'em there
Oh, Mama, I should call you, let you convince me to give it just one more day
But Mama, you'd agree, while this life is sweet, it's just not to everybody
Folks love a resurrection
I got no objection
Let every good lord rise
And I'll close my eyes
