Mama had a Teen

Mama had a teen, mama had her tot
taken from her life
wit' a single shot
And she's never had a day of peace since then

Mama had a dream 'til mama had her lad
taken from her life
Everything she had
seemed to fly out the window along with him

Mom had never seen
that mama had her teen
for nearly twenty years
Mom had never seen
that car accidents can't erase the past

Mama had her teen, mama had her tot
taken from her life,
but mama had a lot
And so sadly, lives weren't meant to last

Mama had her boy, mama had her joy
when finally she peered
bravely through the tears
to see mama had her joy
and mama had her boy

Mama had him for nineteen years...
