[Intro] [Verse 1] Fear has swallowed them today As their driver rides away And all their chances to get to where they were going Roads have taken cruel turns Left them nowhere they can learn And the fears your children realize are showing [Chorus] Hey Mama Jane, you forgot your rider They'll be waiting all day long With sad longing eyes, no way to recognize You ain't ever coming home [Verse 2] How it would not be reviled That love could ever leave a child A life of being lost and brokenhearted Are they better led astray Than to question every day If they were why their driver had departed [Chorus] Hey Mama Jane, you forgot your rider They'll be waiting all day long With sad longing eyes, no way to recognize You ain't ever coming home [Bridge] Hey Mama Jane, your problems still remain And further generations will feel the pain [Verse 3] Now they travel all alone They will never know a home Just some houses where cruel people buy and sell them And another empty mind Made from being left behind As aimless as the fallen leaves forgotten [Chorus] Hey Mama Jane, you forgot your rider They'll be waiting all day long With sad longing eyes, no way to recognize That you ain't ever coming home Hey Mama Jane, you forgot your rider They'll be waiting all day long With sad longing eyes, no way to recognize You ain't ever coming home [Outro] You ain't ever coming home You ain't ever coming home
