Slipped Away (The Ballad Of Luretha Vaird) Testo

Good moring son I'ts off to school you go Mom's gone to work you know Mom when are you coming home There's a bank robbery that's going on Ooh this very morn Mom's gone for sure Mom when are you coming home Officers the bank is being held By two gunmen that don't mean well Mom's on the job can't you tell Mom when are you coming home Mom when are you coming home To see your son Daughter don't be a policeman Please be a school teacher instead You're so good with children Mom when are you coming home Teacher please excuse these boys from class Their mother gone from a shotgun blast Another cop shot down on potrol Mom when are you coming home Mom when are you coming home To see your son The gangsters killed our mother dead All is lost from our faimily They tried to save our mom in vain She drowned in blood and she was not saved The bank is open and the robbers jailed And Mom won't be coming home The way they run their world so wrong How can us brothers get along Mom when are you coming home
