Antioch

His eyes are bloodshot

He's loaded and locked

Thumbing through Revelation down at Antioch

Can't call the law 'cause the sheriff is his kin

And there'll be hell to pay when he comes stumblin' in

Leave it alone

'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone

He used to beat her real good

I could hear the screams and yells

And that ain't somethin you can fix with J-B Weld

I hate him so much even though I bear his name

I can't take him right now but one day that's gonna change

When I get grown

'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone

Hide the bruises and hide the scars

Hide your tears hide who you are

Smile for the camera and pretend it's a happy home

I got in a little trouble on the day I turned sixteen

Got busted stealing cars at the Dairy Queen

They say I'm a product of my raising

Now I'm working for Uncle Sam

But how am I gonna be all I can be when I don't know who I am

And I'm all alone

'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone

I'm getting stronger, I'm getting mean

I 'm learning about killing, I'm learning about me

I'm learning to survive out here in the sand

I'm thinking about Mama, I'm thinking about recompense

So I carry on

'Cause Mama don't cry when daddy's gone

Let the rain wash the blood away

Is the blood of the lamb really enough to save

Someone like me with everything I've done wrong

They got me in Coffield

I'm locked up tight

Guess I had a little blood lust from the Fullajuh nights

I'm trapped in the wreckage, standing in the flames

Wrapped up in something that was never gonna change

But then I came home

Now Mama don't cry that daddy's gone

Then I came home

Now Mama don't cry that daddy's gone

(Now daddy's gone)
