lyrics

When she first met him, she was walking in the park
He asked if he could tag along, for safe in the dark
As they walked along, they began to talk
It wasn’t very long before they both felt the spark

The kind of fire that’s only lit in the heart
Soon enough you’d never ever see them apart
She stopped hanging out with her long-time friends
Cause he didn’t like the way she acted around them

As days turn to night and night turns to day
He started getting jealous, wouldn’t leave her space
Things got heavy when she had to explain
She had to make excuses for her wrist that was sprained

He broke her heart when he shook her brain
He promised he’d never ever do it again
But again and again, yeah it happened again
And soon enough she couldn’t even talk to her friends


Mommas had enough! Yeah, she’s packing all her bags
She’s going on a long drive, crying cause she’s sad
The law couldn’t save her so she gave it what she had
Had to save herself from evil that was bad

All she ever wanted was the love from her man
But his touch was rough and he slapped her with his hand
Now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag...
Yeah, now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag!

As weeks turned to months and months turned to years
She could’ve filled a lake from crying all of those tears
Some of them from sadness and some from fear
Maybe even madness, not a drop from cheer!


So she reached out her arm for the telephone
Dialed for nine-eleven to come to their home
The police report found her with two broken bones
And he was served the papers to leave her alone

It didn’t take long for him to violate the terms
Every chance he had, he’d be hiding ‘round the turn
Begging for forgiveness, when it didn’t work
He forced himself back on her, beat her to the curb

She finally had enough from all the beatings and the shame
The justices system failed her, always been the same
So, she registered a pistol right in to her name
Loaded it with bullets ‘n blew out his brains!

Mommas had enough! Yeah, she’s packing all her bags
She’s going on a long drive, crying cause she’s sad
The law couldn’t save her so she gave it what she had
Had to save herself from evil that was bad

All she ever wanted was the love from her man
But his touch was rough and he slapped her with his hand
Now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag...
Yeah, now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag!

Yeah, now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag
Yeah, now his name is hanging from his toe on a tag
Touch was rough and he slapped her with his hand
All she ever wanted was the love from her man
Had to save herself from the evil man!
