[Verse 1]
No affection were the words that stuck on my mind
When she walked out on me for the very last time
Oh momma, sweet momma, can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done to be treated this way

[Verse 2]
In a cold dirty room, that's where I found myself
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf
Oh momma, sweet momma, can you tell me what to say?
I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed

[Pedal Steel Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Then an angel appeared, she was just seventeen
In a dirty old gown with a conscience so clean
Oh momma, sweet momma, can you tell me what to say?
She's brought back the life that I once threw away

[Outro]
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
