Song lyrics

Send "Mama Said" ringtones to your cell

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore its done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest"
That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Yeah, still

Rebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still

Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal James's voice sounds really good in it. Gave me a fright when I first heard it "Metallica, country?!", but it's grown on me, definitely. Love it now.

37 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It's a great song, has a definite country feel to it.. In fact, it's more country than almost everything country radio plays today, and it's METALLICA! But it also has a metallica feel to it, it 's a kick ass!

11 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal well yeah the video is almost 100% james cause the song is about his mom you know. so not to sound so much of a kiss ass here but i have been going through some of the same things with my mom and the video kinda goes with the whole song vibe. it might not be the most interesting or entertainning video but it goes with the song.

19 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Oh, come on people... This is NOT country. It takes more than a steel pedal to make a country song. This is more folk-sy. And it kicks major ass.

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song literally saved my life. I was sitting at the edge of a bridge with my tiny MP3-player about to jump down in the great darkness. Why? My mom was (still is actually) an alcoholic... In this moment, this song started. I listened to the words, and I suddenly changed my mind and decided to give my mom one last chance. And here I am, happier than ever! Metallica saved my life literally! I ow them alot!
