Antioch

(Hey, hey) His eyes are bloodshot He's loaded and locked Thumbing through revelation down at Antioch Can't call the law 'cause the sheriff is his kin And There'll be hell to pay when he comes stumbling in Leave it alone 'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone He used to beat her real good, I could hear the screams and yells And that ain't something you can fix with JB Weld I hate him so much even though I bear his name I can't take him right now but one day that's gonna change When I get grown 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone Hide the bruises and hide the scars Hide your tears, hide who you are Smile for the camera and pretend it's a happy home I got in a little trouble on the day I turned sixteen Got busted stealing cars at the Dairy Queen They say I'm a product of my raising Now I'm working for Uncle Sam But how am I gonna be all I can be when I don't know who I am And I'm alone 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone I'm getting stronger, I'm getting mean I'm learning about killing I'm, learning 'bout me I'm learning to survive out here in the sand I'm thinking about mama, I'm thinking about recompense So I carry on 'Cause mama don't cry when daddy's gone Let the rain wash the blood away Is the blood of the lamb really enough to save Someone like me with everything that I've done wrong? They got me in Coffield I'm locked up tight Guess I had a little blood lust from the Fallujah nights I'm trapped in the wreckage standing in the flames Wrapped up in something that was never gonna change But then I came home Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone Then I came home Now mama don't cry that daddy's gone (Now daddy's gone) --- Antioch - Whiskey Myers
