I'm Sorry Momma Lyrics

I was 16 years old when I called my momma

"Momma, come get me, they've thrown me in jail"

She said, "I can't help you son

'cause you're your own man now

At least that's what you told me when you left raising hell"

The next time I called her, she gave the same answer

But there was a little more sympathy in her voice

She said, "I'm praying for you son, but I hope you remember

That this all boils down to your one little choice"

I'm sorry momma, I'm your problem child

I'm sorry momma, I'm out living wild

I'm sorry momma, I let you down

I've been out staying lost, while you're praying I'm found

The last time I called her, she didn't even answer

So I left her a message, and I acted like an ass

Then I got a call, not too long after

That's when my brother told me momma had passed

I'm sorry momma, I'm your problem child

I'm sorry momma, I'm out living wild

I'm sorry momma, 'cause I let you down

I've been out staying lost, while you're praying I'm found

Well, I'm sorry momma, I was your problem child

And I'm sorry momma, I was out living wild

I'm sorry momma, but I've turned around

Momma, I was lost, but now, momma, I'm found

Momma, I was lost, but now, momma, I'm found

Momma, I was lost, but now, momma, I'm found
