I like it    I don't like it

(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)


Shed wake us up early every mornin

Shed help us say our prayers every night

She was always there to help us through the hard times

We could count on her to make everything alright


I remember swingin on the front porch

Papa said theres somethin I need to say tonight

Mamas been sick for a long time

Lets pray to God she can make it through the night


(chorus)

Mama dont wanna say goodbye

She said wipe those tears from your eyes

Mama I dont wanna say goodbye

It was written in the heavens and the skies above

Son I gave you birth showed you all my love

I cant think of this life without you its hard to try

Mama Im afraid to say goodbye


Now kids Ive been hangin on a long time

I hate to leave this world before your grown

Remember everything that Ive taught you

Remember all the good times when Im gone


(repeat chorus)


She whispered in my ear before she passed away

Son its time to be a man aint nothin left to say

Jesus walked on water I know its true

When it comes time hell call you home

I hope your ready too


(repeat chorus)
