Lyrics
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
Cause baby packed up her things
And rode off into the dark
Severed the crying wheel
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
Baby where did we go wrong
Didn't we give you enough
Maybe we were just too hard on you
Maybe we were just too rough
Step on the crying wheel
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
Maybe you were just too meek, yeah
Maybe we were just too loud
Maybe you could never speak, yeah
Maybe you were just drowned out
By the sound of the crying wheel
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
Baby baby come back home, yeah
We could do it differently
It's been far too long
And we haven't heard a goddamn thing
Except for the crying wheel
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
Mama's got a broken wing, yeah
Daddy's got a broken heart
