A Year Ago Today

[Intro] A year ago today, I was stood beside you outside the court room And when they called your name, you thought I'd be ashamed, but I stood taller For you've already served all that you deserved, too many lifetimes over And when they called your name, you thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller [Verse 1] And money always flowed from the pockets of your clothes to the hands of another Copper, silver, gold, a greater love was sold down the Craig Mattie River He promised you the world, you let your hair unfurl right down to your shoulder He promised you the world, and now that same old world is just getting smaller [Chorus] Oh, Mama, I told you all the time Please be careful with your love I told you all the time Oh, Mama, I told you all the time Please be careful who you love I told you all the time [Verse 2] A year ago today, I was stood beside you outside the court room And when they called your name, you thought I'd be ashamed, but I stood taller And I watched as your pride from your nose and eyes came out aflowing And when they called your name, you thought I'd be ashamed, but I stood taller [Chorus] Oh, Mama, I told you all the time Please be careful with your love I told you all the time Oh, Mama, I told you all the time Please be careful who you love I told you all the time [Outro] Oh, Mama, I told you all the time Please be careful with your love I told you all the time Mama Love
