Lyrics

I'm the one they call when the water won't run
When the old truck quits and the hard day's done
I can pull a motor, I can patch a roof
I can tell everybody else what they ought to do
But I don't say much when the room gets still
Or how some nights take more than I can fill
I just sit at the kitchen table alone
With a cold cup of coffee and your number gone
I spent half my life trying to stand like you taught me
Telling everybody, "don't you worry about me"
But the truth is the truth when the house goes quiet
There's a hole in my chest and I can't hide it
Mama, I miss you tonight
I know I'm a grown man, but I ain't too proud to cry
Lord, I know she's in your hands
But I sure could use hers tonight
Mama, if heaven lets you hear me
I just need to hear you say my name
I can carry everybody tomorrow
Mama, tonight I need you just the same
I miss those hands with the flour on them
Fixing up a cut, buttoning up my collar then
You'd look at my face before I said a thing
Somehow you'd know what the hurt was bringing
You could make a bad year feel like one bad day
Put a plate in front of me and tell me, "eat anyway"
Funny how safe this world used to be
Just knowing you were somewhere waiting on me
Now I've got my own scars and a house full of reasons
Bills on the counter, old friends gone missing
I still hear your voice when I don't know what to do
"Stand up, son, but you can lean on me too"
Mama, I miss you tonight
I know I'm a grown man, but I ain't too proud to cry
Lord, I know she's in your hands
But I sure could use hers tonight
Mama, if heaven lets you hear me
I just need to hear you say my name
I can carry everybody tomorrow
Mama, tonight I need you just the same
Jesus, I ain't asking you to give her back
I know where she is, and I know she's safe at last
But if you can spare a little mercy for a son
Tell her I finally know how much she gave me, every one
And Lord, I know she's in your hands
But I sure could use hers tonight
Mama, I miss you tonight
I'm still your grown-up boy, and I ain't too proud to cry
Lord, I know she's in your hands
But I sure could use hers tonight
Mama, if heaven lets you hear me
I just need to hear you say my name
I can carry everybody tomorrow
Mama, tonight I need you just the same
Yeah, I can carry everybody tomorrow
Mama, tonight I need you just the same
I can carry everybody tomorrow
Mama, tonight I need you just the same
