Mama was right

Verse 1:
Mama always had a way of knowing,
Saw the storm in your eyes, it was brewing.
I was blind, lost in a lover's haze,
But Mama, she saw right through your wicked ways.
Chorus:
"Mama was right about you," I whisper in the cold, dark night,
Never fell down before, but I lost this fight.
Pushed you away, now I'm paying the price,
In this cell, under these lonely lights.
Verse 2:
The drinking came hard after that fateful day,
Drowning sorrows, in a bourbon sea I lay.
Mama's words, echoing in my bourbon-soaked brain,
"You fooled me once, but never again."
Chorus:
"Mama was right about you," her words ring true,
In this jailhouse, I've got time to rue.
If I'd never pushed, would I be free?
But here I am, where you led me to be.
Bridge:
Mama's wisdom, now it's all so clear,
In the mirror, I face my deepest fear.
You played your game, I was just a part,
In the tragedy of a broken heart.
Verse 3:
I remember Mama's wary eyes,
As she saw through your charming lies.
Now I'm here, in this cell alone,
Paying for a love, that's come and gone.
Chorus:
"Mama was right about you," I admit with a sigh,
In this jailhouse, under a watchful sky.
The drinking, the fall, it's all on me,
Mama was right, but I just couldn't see.
Outro:
So here's to Mama, and her knowing view,
Saw right through you, to the heart untrue.
In this cell, with my regrets and fears,
I hold onto her wisdom, through these bitter tears.
