Slipped Away Lyrics - G. Love & Special Sauce

Good morning son 

It's off to school you go 

Mom's gone to work you know 

Mom when are you coming home 

There's a bank robbery that's going on 

Ooh this very morn 

Mom's gone to wrok for sure 

Mom when are you coming home 

Officers the bank is being held 

By two gunmen that don't mean well 

Mom's on the job can't you tell 

Mom when are you coming home 

Mom when are you coming home 

To see your son 

Daughter don't be a policeman 

Please be a school teacher instead 

You're so good with the children 

Mom when are you coming home 

Teacher please excuse these boys from class 

Their mother gone from a gunshot blast 

Another cop shot down on patrol 

Mom when are you coming home 

Mom when are you coming home 

To see your son 

The gangsters killed our mother dead 

All is lost from our family 

They tried to save our mom in vain 

She drowned in blood and she was not saved 

The bank is open and the robbers jailed 

And mom won't be coming home 

The way they run their world so wrong 

How can us brothers get along 

Mom when are you coming home
