Thinking back ain't real easy,
Thinking back and understanding,
knowing everything we had
Came from men who didn't love you,
only knew who came around
For the parties and the good times
Then they'd lay their money down
Mama frowned, loved you dearly
And we all came home today
Stand and hear the Bible verse
That preacher Jones would say
And you're not to mind the hypocrites
We're just here to be beside you
As they lay you in the ground
Thinking back ain't real easy
When I've been away so long
Takin' back brings up old memories
I thought were dead and gone
People lookin' down the roses
at the way we used to live
Mama Brown, we loved you dearly,
and we all came home today
Stand and hear the Bible verse
that Preacher Jones will say
And you're not to mind the hypocrites
that gather here around you
We're just here to be beside you
As they lay you in the ground
Mama Brown, we loved you dearly
And we all came home today
Stand and hear the Bible verse
That preacher John will say
And you're not to mind the hippo friends
We're just here to be beside you
as they lay you in the ground
Mama Brown, we loved you dearly,
and we all came home today
