Billy was a young boy |
|
When he got his first guitar |
|
he was dreamin' about the big town |
|
Headin' out to be a star |
|
Mama was proud to help him |
|
She was proud to watch him play |
|
but she didn't think Billy someday |
|
Would turn and walk away |
|
Sitting by the window |
|
Waiting and hopin' all the time |
|
Billy's coming home |
|
But he's too far gone |
|
All she's got are memories |
|
And his letter in her hands |
|
He said |
|
Mama - don't care |
|
Mama don't you cry |
|
I'm still your little good boy |
|
Tryin' to get it right |
|
Mama - don't give up |
|
When believin's getting tough |
|
Whatever I'll be doing, I'll be thinkin' |
|
Thinkin' about your love |
|
Billy's got in trouble |
|
He's got deep down in despair |
|
There was nobody believed in |
|
The words he had to swear |
|
He was too proud to make a phone call |
|
And say Mama help me please |
|
He just wrote another letter |
|
He said Mama you're in my dreams |
|
There she's sitting all alone |
|
Still she's waiting for her little boy comin' home |
|
She feels so alone, listening to the radio |
|
She thinks Billy is singin' this song to her |
|
He said |
|
Mama - don't care |
|
Mama don't you cry |
|
I'm still your little good boy |
|
Tryin' to get it right |
|
Mama - don't give up |
|
When believin's getting tough |
|
Whatever I'll be doing, I'll be thinkin' |
|
Thinkin' about your love |
|
What about the love you gave all these years |
|
You ain't got anything back |
|
If there's a little chance to make it all undone |
|
I'd give you the love of a son |
|
I owe you |
|
Mama - don't care |
|
Mama don't you cry |
|
I'm still your little good boy |
|
Tryin' to get it right |
|
Mama - don't give up |
|
When believin's getting tough |
|
Whatever I'll be doing, I'll be thinkin' |
|
Thinkin' about your love |
|
Mama - don't care |
|
Mama don't you cry |
|
I'm still your little good boy |
|
Tryin' to get it right |
|
Mama - don't give up |
|
When believin's getting tough |
|
Whatever I'll be doing, I'll be thinkin' |
|
Thinkin' about your love |
