I started drinking
And acting crazy
Way back in '65
Mama would pray and say he's my baby
Lord please keep him alive
Sister came home
With two little children
Her man had left her alone
Mama knew too well the hurt she was feeling
Cause Daddy had been gone so long
We all did our part
To add to her pain
We all broke her heart but she never complained
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
I ain't touched a drink in 10 years
Sister remarried to a good ol' boy
They don't live too far from here
Mama's work is done
Now, she's gone on home
The words in our hearts
Are engraved on her stone
She loved a lot in her time
She watched love grow and die on the vine
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
She stood in the shadows
So others could shine
She loved a lot in her time
Mama, you loved a lot in your time
