This is how I'm ending up
She's got her finger on the trigger
She's got no sense of motherhood
It's so not what it's supposed to be between her and me
A prisoner of a wrecked mind
I lost control of space and time
Now every second feels like an hour
My life is in her power

Mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the head
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So why you wanna see me dead?
Now mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the face
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So let me finish my race
Mama put your gun down
(mama put your gun down)

Cold, cold eyes and cold cold heart
She always hated me right from the start
Go easy mom, just take it slow
She told me I'm the lowest of the low

I can't stand more of this freak show
I better jsut take off and go
But there is no way to escape
I'm stuck in her mistake, no!

Mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the head
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So why you wanna see me dead?
Now mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the face
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So let me finish my race
Mama put your gun down
(mama put your gun down)

Some say that history repeats itself
Well just ask me because I know damn well
I've had the same nightmare for years and years now
I guess it manifests my greatest fears now
So what's the deal mom?
Could this be real mom?
Or am I one pathetic mislead daughter
Blaming all the wrongs in my life on you
When I'm the one responsible

I wanna go to the Vegas
And let the sun shine on me
But I guess that it's return now
'casue you're pointing it right at me

Mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the head
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So why you wanna see me dead?
Now mama put your gun down
Don't shoot me in the face
I didn't do ya nothing wrong
So let me finish my race
Mama put your gun down
(mama put your gun down)
