MAMA'S SUNDAY RIDE
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: SHE'S BEEN GAZING DOWN THE DRIVE
WAITING FOR HER SUNDAY RIDE
SHE'S WISHING THAT THE CHILDREN WOULD COME ON
DRESSED UP IN HER SUNDAY BEST
WITH HER BIBLE TO HER BREAST
WAITING FOR A RIDE DOWN TO THE CHURCH WHERE SHE BELONGS

CHORUS: WE MAKE SURE MAMA HAS HER SUNDAY RIDE
HER PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE 'THO SHE'S ALWAYS FIRST INSIDE
KNEELING IN HER SPECIAL PLACE
SHINING WITH AMAZING GRACE
SINGING HYMNS AND THANKING JESUS FOR THE RIDE

VERSE 2: EVERY SUNDAY SHE WILL WAIT
FOR HER CHILDREN AT THE GATE
HUMMING SOME OLD GOSPEL SONG SHE KNOWS
SHE CAN'T DRIVE AND SHE CAN'T WALK
BUT TO HEAR THE NEIGHBORS TALK
SHE NEVER MISSES CHURCH 'THO IT BE RAIN OR SLEET OR SNOW

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: IN THESE DAYS OF TOIL AND STRIFE
EVERYBODY HAS A LIFE
BUT THERE'S ONE NEED THAT CAN'T BE PUT ASIDE
WAR AND RUMORS MAY ABOUND
BUT WHEN SUNDAY COMES AROUND
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS ALWAYS MAMA'S SUNDAY RIDE

REPEAT CHORUS
