Mama Rock the Cradle
by Bob Lucas & Chloe Manor

Home out in the country
High up on a hill
Dreamy little childhood
Dreaming I’m there still

Teach me how to walk there
Watch me run away
Ohh the way you talk there
Couldn’t make me stay

Momma rock the cradle
Daddy drive the train
Momma hit rock bottom
Daddy went insane

Momma found a doctor
Daddy found the booze
Momma found a road map
Give me my walking shoes

Tears that I’ve been choking
Lightening my load
No goodbyes were spoken
Right on down the road

Clinging like a pea vine
Backing to the wind
Every tear road sign
Telling where I been

(chorus)
Now I’m gone, gone
Up through the weeds I’ve grown
My heart has been broken
As so has my home
All alone the little bird has flown
And nobody’s looking to find me
Nobody’s looking to find me
