Shot gun blast from a young mans past
Couldn't take no more, had to even the score
Old man dies with the truth he denies
He won't harm no one, not his only son
Standing with the gun on his shoulder
Never thought he'd live to be older

Is he better off now, that his father is dead
Ever since a boy, he's been trying to forget
Mama never was what a mother should be
But a loser, such a loser, woh, woh, yeah

Jumped on his bike, he would ride all night
Run away from it all, leave the nightmare behind
Wake in the morning in a brand new place
Where the people he'd meet there, didn't know his face
He don't really know where he's going
And he can't forget where he's been

Is he better off now, that his father is dead
Ever since a boy, he's been trying to forget
Mama never was what a mother should be
But a loser, such a loser

Fly on your wings up to the sky
Only your dreams can heal you
Away from the dark, into the light
Now, you can see the real you
Standing with your life on your shoulder
Never thought you'd live to be older

Is he better off now, that his father is dead
Ever since a boy, he's been trying to forget
Mama never was what a mother should be
But a loser, such a loser, yeah

Yeah, is he better off now, that his father is dead
Ever since a boy, he's been trying to forget
Mama never was what a mama should be
She's a loser, what a loser, such a loser, yeah, yeah, yeah
