Single Mother

Monday morning, three AM
Baby's crying in her crib
Opened a letter from the landlord that read
"If there's no rent check you'll be evicted"
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

The sink is dripping and the heater's broke
TV channels are just a joke
Frost on the windows looks like prison chains
Holding you back from a change in things
Oh, oh

Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right, now now

Boyfriend kicked your front door in
Late at night on a drinking binge
He lost his job at the factory
And now he takes it out on you and your new baby
Oh, oh

Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right, now now now

You didn't choose this situation
A single mother with no education
You'll find a way, you'll find a way
To get through all these days and nights
Oh, oh

Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right, now now
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right, now now now now
Oh mama, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, now now
Oh mama, it's all right
