  • Mama please don't go
    Won't you stay here for one more day
    I've been your boy for so long now
    There's so much I've, I still have to say

    Sky rips open and I held my heart in my hand
    Like a soldier on his very last day
    Cried myself to sleep that night and I listened
    As I heard the angels sing, sha la la

    Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm going home
    Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home

    Oh, something inside of me makes me scream, oh
    How could God take you from a little boy
    He'll be alright, he's by my side
    He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy
    Sha la la la

    Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm going home
    Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home

    Summer on the radio and the phone rings
    And it was Jeanette
    She said, boy we had to let her go
    I begged no, no not yet

    You left six of us to fend for ourselves
    Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
    We see you laughing 'cause you're my best friend
    You're the light of the lamb
    And I smiled when the angels sing

    Sha la la la, sha la la la, take me home
    Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
    Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
    Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home Writer/s: DARIUS RUCKER, DEAN FELBER, JIM SONEFELD, MARK BRYAN
