Lyrics

For many years and half a lifetime, Mama knew you won't be raised
When the pastor rang the chimes, with your ghost she won't be graced
Why'd you have to go and leave her, cannot carry your flame
Just a dying ember, not a keeper of your name
I was born in West by God, Virginia, my mama's second son
My first one didn't make it and now I'm the only one
Some don't make it to the cradle and the first stop is the grave
I was surely able, for her it's you I'd save
Deliver her from evil, or aim it right at me
Dodging demons and the Holy Ghost, still won't keep her free
I got a two dollar bill for my birthday, to remind me I wasn't first
Now I'm drinking on a Tuesday, trying to get by my reversed
I was born in West by God, Virginia, my mama's second son
My first one didn't make it and now I'm the only one
Some don't make it to the cradle and the first stop is the grave
I was surely able, for her it's you I'd save
Cross my heart in hope to die, your plot's now hallowed ground
She thinks you're here but that's a lie, your memory wears a crown
Some don't make it to the cradle and the first stop is the grave
I was sure of evil, for her it's who I'd save
