| Line of limousines leaves one by one
|
| The prayers been prayed, the hymns been sung
|
| Black mascara’s already run
|
| But the tears keep flowin'
|
| You can blame it on hate or blame it on guns
|
| But mama’s ain’t supposed to bury their sons
|
| Left a hole in her heart and it still ain’t done
|
| The bullet keeps on goin'
|
| Through every branch of his family tree
|
| Every birthday that he’ll never see
|
| Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
|
| Through the son he’ll never get to raise
|
| His daughter on her wedding day
|
| Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
|
| 'Till every heart that’s left to break is broken
|
| The bullet keeps on goin'
|
| The grass grows back around the stone
|
| And friends stop checkin' in on the phone
|
| The camera crews have all moved on
|
| But the wound’s still open
|
| The bullet keeps on goin'
|
| Through every branch of his family tree
|
| Every birthday that he’ll never see
|
| Every chance to live a good life that was stolen
|
| Through the son he’ll never get to raise
|
| His daughter on her wedding day
|
| Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
|
| 'Till every heart that’s left to break is broken
|
| The bullet keeps on goin', yeah
|
| Oh, whoa
|
| Line of limousines leaving one by one
|
| The prayers been prayed, the hymns been sung
|
| Oh, mama’s ain’t supposed to bury their sons
|
| The bullet keeps on goin'
|
| Through the son he’ll never get to raise
|
| His daughter on her wedding day
|
| Wishin' it was his hands she was holdin'
|
| 'Till every heart that’s left to break is broken
|
| The bullet keeps on goin'
|
| The bullet keeps on goin' |
