Mama's leavin' todaynIt didn't take as long as I thought it wouldnAnd there's mounds of claynIn the backyard where our playground once stoodnnHe left months agonWith his college bags, his overcoat, and his clothesnAnd I'm stuck down herenStill talking to all the people that he knowsnTo all the people that he knowsnnAnd in this backgroundnThe colors changenFrom green to bluenFrom blue to purplenPurple to rednAnd in my headnAnd in my headnBluenPurple
