Hey, mama, how do you get a red-wine stain

Out of your favorite dress?

Black mascara off a pillow case

Cure a one-too-many headache

Mama, can I come and maybe stay a few days?

This weekend or next

And hey, how do you get a red-wine stain

Out of your favorite dress?

How does he sleep at night?

Mama, the nerve of this guy

To leave me so easy

Am I gonna be alright?

I wanna kick myself for fallin' so hard

Mama, can you die from a broken heart?

Can you ask daddy if he's got time

To come and look at my front door?

It got slammed last night

And now it don't close right

And just promise that you won't tell him everything

And keep that pistol in the drawer

Mama, please don't say

I'm gonna laugh about this someday

You didn't see the way he drove away

How does he sleep at night?

Mama, the nerve of this guy

To leave me so easy

Am I gonna be alright?

I wanna kick myself for fallin' so hard

Mama, can you die from a broken heart?

Oh, a broken heart

Can your knees give out from prayin' so hard? (Prayin' so hard)

Can you go blind from cryin' in the dark? (In the dark)

Was it ever really real

If he don't feel like I feel?

How does he sleep at night?

Mama, the nerve of this guy

To leave me so easy

Am I gonna be alright?

How does he sleep at night?

Mama, the nerve of this guy

To leave me so easy

Am I gonna be alright?

I wanna kick myself for fallin' so hard

Mama, can you die from a broken heart?

A broken heart
