Lyrics
It was her last free day
In the mornin' sun
The waters were
Beginning to rise
Clouds were formin'
As she looked toward
The Western sky
She was simple,kind
And true
She had dreams that
No one knew
Raise a family
See her children
Learn to shine
Oh, the rains fell hard
That day
Everything was
Washed away
Now she stands there
With nothin'
On her mind
With her soul
Bowed low
She lifts her
Weary eyes
And sees the sun
Shining in the sky
A ray of hope
Flickers in her mind
Of what's to come
From what's been
Left behind mm-mm
Just another day
In the summer sun
Kentucky winds
Are blowin' again
Another day
Of life's unknowns
Letting go and
Holdin' on
Wishing for a cure
To ease her pain
She sees them
Over and over again
Her sons were cheated
Of the chance
To grow into
Young men
And her daughters into
Beautiful ladies
Her sons were cheated
Of the chance
To grow into
Young men
And her daughters
Into beautiful ladies
But that can't stop
A mama's heart
From knowing
Who they are
And who they
Would've become
No, that can't stop
A mama's heart
From knowing
Who they are
And who they
Would've become
With the tables turned
Would you be ok?
Get up, start
All over again
No matter what
Life throws your way
Live to fight
Another day
Barely holdin' on
But that's alright
There's always hope
In the darkest night
There's always hope
In the darkest night
Now she thinks
Of days gone by
Finds it hard
To laugh or cry
She just stands there
With nothin'
On her mind
