I was three years old sitting in the seat of a Greyhound busMy brother and me, Mama's tears falling like a Carolina rainCause she pulled out a gun the night beforeSaid he ain't gonna drink and hit me no moreShe pulled the trigger on my father in a moment's rainThank God that gun wasn't loadedDidn't know where to go or how she'd surviveDidn't care, anywhere but there that nightNow she held her babies tightAnd we rode through the cold of the midnight blueShe was scared, she was brokeBut all she knew was she was gonna doWhat she had toShe got her a job in a trailer out westIt wasn't much but she was doing her bestPutting food on the table for her familyBut then one day I came home from schoolMy Mama was crying alone in her roomShe said, I lost my job and we're gonna lose the trailer tooAnd she got that volkswagon loadedDidn't know where to go or how she'd surviveDidn't care, anywhere but there that nightShe held her babies tightAnd we rode through the cold of the midnight blueShe was scared, she was brokeBut all she knew was she was gonna doWhat she had toWhenever things go wrong in my lifeI just think of her, what it took that nightTo get on that bus in a Carolina rainDidn't know where to go or how she'd surviveDidn't care, anywhere but there that nightShe held her babies tight(She held her babies tight)And we rode through the cold of the midnight blueShe was scared, she was brokeBut all she knew was she was gonna doWhat she had toWhat she had to (what she had to)Yeah, yeah, ooooh, what she had toWhat she had to
