Truckstop Honeymoon - Mama Cried

She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed away

was like a death in the family, she only had one LP

and she played it constantly, and it drove us all insane

when Mama sang along to all them tin pan alley songs

and she'd get the words all wrong

and it didn't really matter, it made it sorta sadder

it's such a shame.

How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died

As good a reason as any other

It's as if they had been lovers

A long long time ago, but as far as I know

She never caught a show

But all the same, her tears they were real

And her grief was sincere

And it came from a deep place

Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name

Yeah Mama cried like I never saw

"Mama cried before," "That's not exactly true ..

She cried a lot for you and Richard Burton too".

It was all she could do

To ease the pain, she smoked cigarettes in bed

Drank Kahlua as she read, everything the papers said

She believed every word, now it seems sort of absurd

How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died

And her tears they were real

And her grief was sincere

And it came from a deep place

Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name

Yeah Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
