lirik lagu caitlin cannon - mama's a hairdresser
[verse 1]
wipe down the chair, sweep up the hair
still time to get to the bank
first, pay the man, then send what she can
to corrections of alabama state
the clerk takes a look, enough on the books
to buy cigarettes and tang
not everybody can afford the prison store
so he gives half away to his cellmate
[chorus]
mama’s a hairdresser
baby’s a life offender
don’t tell her about faith
don’t you tell him about surrender
[post~chorus]
and the crime don’t justify the sentencing
but thеy ain’t never gonna let that freedom ring
[verse 2]
shakе down at the prison grounds
anyplace she could have contraband hid
but she knows the drill, shut up and hold still
been comin’ here since he was just a kid
don’t let go of hands the whole time they stand
pushin’ dimes into a vending machine
a salisbury steak in a microwave
and he says, “mom, i’m eatin’ like a king”
tellin’ old stories, long and boring
over and over again
but she doesn’t mind the same punch lines
’cause they never get old to him
[chorus]
mama’s a hairdresser
baby’s a life offender
don’t tell her about faith
don’t you tell him about surrender
[post~chorus]
and the crime don’t justify the sentencing
but they ain’t never gonna let that freedom ring
[bridge]
if you’re gonna be in the wrong place at the wrong time
don’t be south of that mason~dixon line
[verse 3]
roll call the names of all the inmates
the prisoners get in line
they don’t dare cry when they wave goodbye
’cause that’s the only way to survive
back in the cell with nothin’ but a shelf
a toilet, and a metal tray
he kneels at the head of the broken bed
and he thanks god for another day
[chorus]
mama’s a hairdresser
baby’s a life offender
don’t tell her about faith
don’t you tell him about surrender
[post~chorus]
and the crime don’t justify the sentencing
but they ain’t never gonna let that freedom ring
no, the crime don’t justify the sentencing
but they ain’t never gonna let that freedom ring
ring, ring, ring
[outro]
if you’re gonna be in the wrong place at the wrong time
don’t be south of that mason~dixon line
