[Verse 1]
I was three years old sitting in the seat of a Greyhound bus
My brother and me
Mama's tears falling like a Carolina rain
'Cause she pulled out a gun the night before
Said he ain't gonna drink and hit me no more
She pulled the trigger on my father in a moment's rage
Thank God that gun wasn't loaded
[Pre-Chorus]
Didn't know where to go or how she'd survive
Didn't care, anywhere but there that night
[Chorus]
Now she held her babies tight
And we rode through the cold of the midnight blue
She was scared, she was broke
But all she knew was she was gonna do
What she had to
[Verse 3]
She got her a job in a trailer out west
It wasn't much but she was doing her best
Putting food on the table for her family
But then one day I came home from school
My Mama was crying alone in her room
She said, I lost my job and we're gonna lose the trailer too
And she got that Volkswagen loaded
