Mama's Worried

Mama's worried all the time She tells everyone she's fine But she's hurting bad
She don't want no one to know
There's a rumbling below
Out on the sea, an unnatural glow People with nowhere to go
And nothing in their eyes
We ain't seen daddy for a while
He walked away
His worried smile was the memory he gave to me We don't know where he's gone
And mama's worried all the time She tells everyone she's fine
But she's hurting bad and worried so She don't want no one to know
People in their stylish clothes
They look at us and turn up their nose A hunger deep inside me grows
And never goes away
She starts singing in the morning She works and sings all day Singing sad, singing low
For a while the worry goes away
Mama's worried all the time
She tells everyone she's fine
But she's hurting bad and worried so She don't want no one to know
