Lyrics
Momma knows her girl ain't crazy,
still hearing those wedding vows,
It never ceases to amaze me,
what she's going through even now,
while cryingly she goes on sharing mommas loving hand,
She's cried a month of Sundays,
and felt the slamming door,
hoping maybe someday,
love is evermore,
In the rising and setting suns, of having a good man,
She's been tried by the devil,
felt the upperhand,
she's been so disheveled,
trying to understand,
Now her life must go on, without that wedding band,
She's cried a month of Sundays,
for the man she knew before,
hoping maybe someday,
love is evermore,
Now her life must go on, making new plans,
She's been walked on a bit,
and still has those crying fits,
O-O-O-O-h Lord,
even I can read her lips,
How an ex-wife must be strong,
trying to understand,
how her life must go on, without that wedding band,
She has mommas loving hand.
