Broke down in Stone Mountain Georgia Many miles from my home A trail of tears that I've left searchin Some of yours and my own So I'm out here prayin to Jesus For a ghost in the night Cause all they want is a simple dollar A song I won't write
Mama, Let it be Ain't no man gonna take it from me Hard times, I carry on They've only seen the calm before the storm
Her faith and a bottle of bourbon I seen truth on the road There ain't a man in this world that ain't hurtin All carrying a load So roll on I'll see you sweet mama When their day is done With some strength and love from family Your oldest son
Mama, let it be Ain't no man gonna take it from me Hard times, I carry on They've only seen the calm before the storm
Let it storm I've got a few things on my mind They wanna take it and break it And make it their own And it's time I keep mine
Mama, let it be There ain't no man gonna take it from me Hard times, I carry on They've only seen the calm before the storm Calm before the storm
