Lyrics
Mama don't wait up tonight Don't fix a plate, don't leave the porch light on Mama don't wait up tonight By the time you wake, what I done is done
Got the keys to the Buick, full tank of gas Got the photograph he didn't think I'd find Got the pistol mama prayed I'd never carry Got the kind of quiet that lives in the mind
Mama don't wait up tonight Don't say a rosary, don't make the call Mama don't wait up tonight The Lord's already heard, He ain't said nothin' at all
Brother said "let me ride along" I said "no, somebody's got to bury this man" Brother said "you the only family I got" I said "that's the reason, brother, that's the plan"
Mama don't wait up tonight Don't fix a plate, don't leave the porch light on Mama don't wait up tonight By the time you wake, what I done is done
When I come back I'll be older When I come back I'll be less When I come back the dog'll know me But the boy in the picture won't
Mama don't wait up tonight, y'all Mama don't wait up tonight Light the candle for the saint that don't help Blow it out before the morning light Mama don't wait up tonight Mama don't wait up tonight
