My Big Fat Mama Left Me

[Intro] [Verse 1] The sun dipped low on a dusty road, Her shadow stretched where the cold wind blowed. She packed her bags with a sigh, a groan, Left me here with this empty home. My big fat mama, she’s gone, she’s gone, Now the cracks in these walls sing a lonesome song. [Chorus] Oh, my big fat mama left me and gone, Took the warmth from the hearth, left ashes to mourn. Her laughter’s a ghost in these empty halls, And the night feels longer as the old clock crawls. [Verse 2] She used to hum with the skillet in hand, Filled this house like a one-woman band. Now the silence stings like a screen door’s slam, And I’m just a man, lost in a “what I am.” Her perfume lingers on my ragged coat, But her goodbye’s a thorn in my throat. [Chorus] Oh, my big fat mama left me and gone, Took the joy from the jar, left the lid undone. The biscuits ain’t risin’, the gravy’s run thin, And I’m starvin’ for love she won’t dish out again. [Bridge] The porch swing creaks with the weight of the past, Every squeak’s a question—how long will this last? I trace her steps in the dust on the floor, But her name’s just an echo, nothin’ more. [Chorus] Oh, my big fat mama left me and gone, Left a hole in the bed where her heart used to warm. Now the whiskey’s my companion, the moon’s my guide, But neither can fill the space she left inside. [Outro]
