You can read your bible, think and pray.
Ask the Lord why He doesn’t show you the way.
You got a cross chain folded around your neck.
But oh’ pretty mamma its just a good look back.
Coz it’s a hard ride through the hard times.
And nothing will move when you stand aside.
It’s a long ride through the retreats, 
when nothing will move your feet!
 
You can beat your devil, fast or slow. 
Thank the Lord twice for the way things go.
Treat your weeds with a scuffle hoe.
But oh’ pretty mamma it just ain’t so.
Coz it’s a hard ride through the hard times.
And nothing will move when you stand aside.
It’s a long ride through the retreats, 
when nothing will move your feet!
 
You can shake my hand, with your good lookin’ smile.
Take a seat to stick around for a while.
You can tell me something that I don’t know.
But oh’ pretty mamma I’m about to go!
Coz it’s a hard ride through the hard times.
And nothing will move when you stand aside.
It’s a long ride through the retreats, 
when nothing will move your feet!
 
You can make a stand, against those walls.
Ask your friend why he never gives you a call.
Make a run through the golden glow.
But oh’ pretty mamma you move to slow.
Coz it’s a hard ride through the hard times.
And nothing will move when you stand aside.
It’s a long ride through the retreats, 
when nothing will move your feet!
 
You can ask for mercy, love and trust.
Make a way through your sin and lust.
Surrender yourself from head to toe.
But oh’ pretty mamma the Lord needs your soul.
Coz it’s a hard ride through the hard times.
And nothing will move when you stand aside.
It’s a long ride through the retreats, 
when nothing will move your feet!
