Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on

Oh yeah, babe You’re so beautiful now And I'm scared that you’re gonna slip away And you, you’ve got this wide-eyed gaze And a smile that you'll carry through your days It’s the easiest way To know you’re alive

I've gone away Life's high's and crashing low's I've mourned the past and The death of yesterdays The one you seek Is no longer What tomorrow brings This burden upon my shoulders For I don't wish to carry anymore
