Lyrics: Old 97's. No Mother.

In the valley of the shadows I'm waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
So know I'll always love you
Until we meet above

In the battle of the bottle I'm an innocent
And the breaking of glass I'm lost
In the shadow of a downtown overpass
My last I did exhaust

No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
No no no mother especially not such a handsome one

In the middle of the meadow I'm waiting
For mother and the other ones I love
There's no good why this came to pass
There's only just because

No no no mother should ever have to lose a son
No no no mother especially such a handsome one
