Lyrics

Momma Cried
by Ty Junah


18 years of age and heart full of courage
Not makin his grades but he doesn’t worry
Got a letter in the mail just yesterday
And momma cried

Up before the sun no rooster crows
Sounds and smells and sights he’s never known
Tell dad that I’m being strong
And momma cried

Nowadays he don’t write no letters
Spends everyday trying to kill his pain
And take himself back to better memories
And all the while momma cried

One cool autumn day mom gets a letter
But it’s not quite the same as the others
Her boy is coming home back to her
He hasn’t been the same since he got hurt

Nowadays he don’t right no letters
Spends everyday trying to kill his pain
And take himself back to better memories
And all while momma cried

40 years of age heart full of pain
Dont know how to kill it but he doesn’t worry
Got one more letter to write back to home
And momma cried
