Lyrics

Just last year I got laid off
I say I'm semi-retired
And now every day I walk the dogs for miles
I talk to the birds and the trees and the squirrels
But they never talk back
I don't know what to do with all the time I have
Sometimes Mama don't remember me
I sleep on the floor in front of her TV
Just to make sure she don't wander off again
She says, "Ramona, how many husbands did I have?
Tell me, Ramona, why did I ever leave Birmingham?
Ramona, let me do it myself
Well, I guess I need a little help
Come on, Ramona, can you make me understand?"
Well, Daddy was smart, he went to medical school
But he started into drinking too much
And his hands began to shake
And I guess he had lost his touch
When Mama and me, we left Baton Rouge
We ended up in Minnesota where the winter's cruel
I learned a fresh start could hurt like brand new shoes
Sometimes Mama don't remember me
She pushes me aside, she says, "Let me be"
But I won't because I'm still her little girl
She says, "Ramona, how many husbands did I have?
Tell me, Ramona, why did I ever leave Birmingham?
Ramona, let me do it myself
Well, I guess I need a little help
Come on, Ramona, tell me, Ramona
How many husbands did I have?
Come on, Ramona, why did I ever leave Birmingham?
Ramona, let me do it myself
Well, I guess I need a little help
Come on, Ramona, can you make me understand?"
Don't cry, Ramona
Live it while you can
Don't cry, Ramona
Don't cry, Ramona
Don't cry
Don't cry, Ramona
Don't cry
Don't cry, Ramona
Don't cry
Don't cry, Ramona
