Verse 2

I've spent my life on a

barstool all alone

Never knowing why she sent

me from my home

Was there something wrong with me

That no one else could see?

What's the reason

Only I got turned away?

Mama, please tell me why
C 
G 
You would leave just me behind
D 
G 
C 
You sent me off and then you went

and have my brothers
G 
C 
Before me, a little girl
G 
C 
And they're the center of your world
G 
Mama, tell me,
D 
why'd you leave the middle child?
