(billy lawson/lee ann womack/dale dodson)

all you´ve ever been
is a call every now and then
from some old pay phone
after you´d hang up
lord, she´d take it rough
and want to be alone
i know you from the picture
of you and her together
taken at a fair in ´68
you´ve gotta lot of nerve to think
you can walk right in and take her place

to me you´re just the man who made my mama cry
someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
all i know about you is how to live without you
and i can see i have your eyes
but all you´ve ever been
is the man who made my mama cry

when she took off my training wheels
held a job and cooked the meals
where were you?
don´t even start
she did her part
and yours too
now you´re back to play the part
that was missin´ in my heart
when i was growin´ up
well, you´re a little late
i don´t have the time to waste on catchin´ up

to me you´re just the man who made my mama cry
someone who broke a lot of promises in his time
all i know about you is how to live without you
and i can see i have your eyes
but all you´ve ever been
is the man who made my mama cry

all i know about you is how to live without you
and i can see i have your eyes
but all you´ve ever been
is the man who made my mama cry
