Mother forgive me!
I felt this was the right time to fly the nest
Didn't mean to hurt you
It's hard to get by
I am doing my best

Mama, we both know
There's a few things we've left and said now
Distance reminds me
When I was your little boy
Now I'm crying in my bed

If I could make it by now
I won't
Would I make you believe, yeah?
I won't
Your son is shining bright now
They say boys don't cry
Mama, I ain't crying no more

How is the old man?
Hope he has quit smoking big cigars
Tell him I miss him
Tell him it wasn't me who broke his car

Mama, don't disme
I found a good girl and we're making plans
Now this is a new revolution
Spreading the message
Now your war turned into a man

If I could make it by now
I won't
Would I make you believe, yeah?
I won't
Your son is shining bright now
They say boys don't cry
Mama, I ain't crying no more

If I could make it by now
I won't
Would I make you believe, yeah?
I won't
Your son is shining bright now
They say boys don't cry
Mama, I ain't crying no more

I cry no more
I'm movin' on
I cry no more
I'm movin'

I cry no more
I'm movin' on
I cry no

If I could make it by now
I won't
Would I make you believe, yeah?
I won't
Your son is shining bright now
They say boys don't cry
Mama, I ain't crying no more

If I could make it by now
I won't
Would I make you believe, yeah?
I won't
Your son is shining bright now
They say boys don't cry
Mama, I ain't crying no more

I cry no more
I'm movin' on (no, no, no)
I cry no more
I'm movin' (I'm done in crying, mama, yeah, yeah)

I cry no more
I'm movin' on (crying no more)
I cry no more! (No, no, no)
