Justin Townes Earle - Mama's Eyes
Capo 5
C F C
I am my father's son
F C G
I've never known when to shut up
Am G F C
I ain't fooling no one no more
F G C
I am my father's son
We don't see eye to eye
And I'll be the first to admit I've never tried
It sure hurts me, but it should hurt sometime
We don't see eye to eye
I was a young man when
I first found the pleasure and the feel of a sin
I went down the same road as my old man
I was younger then
Am F C G
Now its three am and I'm standing in the kitchen
Am F C
Holding my last cigarrette
Am F C G F
Strike a match and I see my reflection in the mirror in the hall
G
And I say to myself
I've got my mama's eyes
Her long thin frame and her smile
And I still see wrong from right
Cuz I've got my mama's eyes
Yea I've got my mama's eyes
