Lyrics
MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
STANDIN IN THE HOUSE WHERE I WAS RAISED LQQKIN UP AND DOWN THE HALL
I CAN SEE MY FAMILIES HISTORY IN THE THINGS MY MOM LEFT HANGING ON THESE WALLS
EVERY LITTLE THING MEANS SOMETHING AND IT'S GOT A SPECIAL PLACE ON MEMORY LANE
YEAH THESE OLE WALLS CAN TALK IF YOU JUST LISTEN
IN MY MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
HANGING ON A RUSTY NAIL BESIDE MY OLDER BROTHERS'S BED ROOM DOOR
THERE'S A LITTLE GOLD MEDALLION THAT HE TRADED BOTH HIS LEG'S FOR IN SOME WAR
BUT THAT WAS 40 YEARS AGO AND HE STILL WONDERS WHICH SIDE WON THAT GAME
BUT HE'S STILL STANDIN TALL UPON THE WALL
IN MY MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
THERE'S A PICTURE OF MY SISTER WITH A MAN MOST FOLKS REMEMBER AS THE KING
IT WAS TAKEN OUT IN VAGAS WHERE MY FAMILY USED TO DRIVE TO HEAR HIM SING
AND WHEN HE DIED MY MAMMA SAT AND WATCHED HER ONLY DAUGHTER GO INSANE
THE KING'S ALIVE AND DOING WELL UPON THE WALL
IN MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
THERE'S A PICTURE THERE OF JESUS WITH HIS ARM'S STRETCHED OUT TO WELCOME SOMEONE HOME
THAT WAS WHERE MY MAMMA FOUND THE STRENGTH TO GET HER THRU WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG
THE GLASS WAS CRACKED AND DUSTY AND IT WAS HELD TOGETHER BY A RUSTY FRAME
BUT THAT PICTURE WAS THE ROCK THAT WE ALL LEANED ON
IN MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
THAT HALLWAY HELD A TREASURE THERE WAS 40 YEARS OF PLEASURE AND OF PAIN
A THOUSAND PRECIOUS MEMORIES DECORATE THE WALLS IN MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
YEAH THERE'S PRECIOUS MEMORIES UP AND DOWN THE WALLS
IN MY MAMMA'S HALL OF FAME
PRECIOUS MEMORIES
