[ verse 2 ]
cause to this day we remain estranged and i hate it though
cause you ain’t even get to witness your grand baby’s growth
but i’m sorry mama for cleaning out my closet , at the time i was angry
rightfully maybe so , never meant that far to take it though , cause
now i know it’s not your fault , and i’m not making jokes
that song i no longer play at shows and i cringe every time it’s on the radio
and i think of nathan being placed in a home
and all the medicine you fed us
and how i just wanted you to taste your own , but
now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating slow
and i’m way too old to cry , that shit’s painful though
but ma , i forgive you , so does nathan yo
all you did , all you said , you did your best to raise us both
foster care , that cross you bare , few may be as heavy as yours
but i love you debbie mathers , oh what a tangled web we have , cause
one thing i never asked was where the fxxk my deadbeat dad was
fxxk it i guess he had trouble keeping up with every address
but i’d have flipped every mattress , every rock and desert cactus
own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
someone ever moved them from me? that you could bet your ass’s
if i had to come down the chimney dressed as santa , kidnap them
and although one has met their grandma
once you pulled up in our drive one nights
as we were leaving to get some hamburgers
me , her and nate , we introduced you , hugged you
and as you left i had this overwhelming sadness come over me
A
as we pulled off to go our separate paths , and
E
i saw your headlights as i looked back
D
and i’m mad i didn’t get the chance to thank you for being my mom and my dad
E
so mom , please accept this as a tribute i wrote this on the jet
F
i guess i had to get this off my chest
G
i hope i get the chance to lay it before i’m dead
A
the stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt , i guess we’re crashing
E
so if i’m not dreaming , i hope you this message
D
that i’ll always love you from afar , cause you’re my mama . . .

[ verse 3 ]
A
i want a new life
F#m
one without a cause
D
so i’m coming home tonight
E7
well no matter what the cost
A
and if the plane goes down
F#m
and if the crew can’t wake me up
D
just know that i was alright
E7
and i was not afraid to die
A
even if there’s songs to sing
F#m
my children will carry me
D
just know that i’m alright
E7
i was not afraid to die
A
because i put my faith in my new girl
F#m
so i never say goodbye cruel world
D
just know that i’m alright
E7
i Am not afraid to die
