lyrics

I’m not one to be outdone
I ain’t one to miss
I didn’t think I’d go out like this but I did

Mama is a holy woman
She saved my daddy years ago
Because of all my foolin’
I just don’t know

Mama can’t save me now
No matter how hard you try I’ve gone too far, this time
You can’t save me now
Keep in mind, it’s not your soul, it’s mine

Sunday afternoons
Fold my hands say a prayer or two
For you

But that ain’t how it goes
When I know, that he knows what he knows
What does he know ohh

Mama can’t save me now
Not matter how hard you try I’ve gone too far this time
You can’t save me now
Keep in mind it’s not your soul, it’s mine

And I hear footsteps comin’ in
Put my hands up givin’ in
Yeah I hear footsteps comin in
Put my hands up, givin in
Oh I hear footsteps coming in
Hands up… givin in

Mama can’t save me now.
No matter how hard you try, I’ve gone too far this time
You can’t save me now, keep in mind it’s not your soul, it’s mine
