Mama's Guitar

She played the guitar in the darkest of nights

A few calls and we just knew what we got

She said, "Come along, boys, yeah

We've got this whole lot o' night"

She picked out a few that we knew

And she just said we've got the whole nighttime and

Stand around this fireplace, we could sing our souls all free

And we've been singing

La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la

Singin' La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la

She played the guitar in the darkest of days

And she took away our furious pains

She said, "I love you, boys, I love you even though you're stray", oh

She said, "I'll guide you through the darkest of nights

And I'll take away your furious pride"

She said, "I love you, boys, I love you just the way you are"

Oh, we're singin'

La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Oh, we're singin'

La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la

Oh

She said, "The walls don't make this house a home"

You keep on runnin', but you end up all alone

I know, we spend our days on Sundays, and we were readin' in a book

You spend your time with your brothers

And you just practice with a song

She said, "My kid is old, and I am, too

But I got somethin' that goes on"

She played the guitar in the darkest of days

As she took away our furious ways

She said, "I love you, boys, I love you even though you're stray", oh

She said, "I'll guide you through the darkest of nights

And I'll take away your furious pride"

She said, "I love you, boys, I love you just the way you are", oh

We're singin'

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Oh, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Ah, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Oh, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Oh, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Oh, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Oh, yeah, you do

You make this house a home

You make this house a home, home, home

You make this house a home

Ah, yeah, you do
