Mama's boy they laughed and teased
Son don't worry time will come when this will cease
She kissed his skinned knee and his pain went away
He knew he was loved from all her kisses all through the day

He grew to be tall and was strong
Grew to be a man that knew right from wrong
His mama cried as they watched the towers fall
Oh dear God the horror of it all

He vowed that he would do his part
He joined the army and did depart
To lay down his life so his mama would be safe
I'll feel no pain from all the kisses that you gave

Mama don't worry I'll be home soon
She knew in her heart this was not true
Kisses in the morning, kisses at night
Can't keep him safe through this fight

Mama's boy that is true
His mama now cries for her mama's boy too
He went to fight and make it right
So he would never hear his mama cry again at night

He came home without his breath
His life was gone, taken to his death
Mama's heart is broken, never to be restored
She cries now more than she ever did before

Her kisses can not wake him
She cries, oh God why did you take him
She longs to kiss his pain away
This will not happen today or any day
