To Airway Heights she’d drive
When she want to die
Down a lonely road
I watch my Momma go
Night after night, night after night
You’re not the only one
You think I didn’t know
When I learned to love
I learned to let you go
Night after night, night after night
She said, be strong girl
Work hard girl
You’ll go far girl
She said I love you
Take what you need girl
Don’t turn around
My Momma taught me how to be down
I can hear the train
I see your broken face
And my faith is gone
Without a trace
Into the night, into the night
He was a gentleman
He was a lying man
He was a cheating man
I don’t understand
Why it last so long, Momma he done you wrong
She said, be strong girl
Work hard girl
You’ll go far girl
She said I love you
Take what you need girl
Don’t turn around
My Momma taught me how to be down
