[Verse 1]
Mother, oh, mother
Where do I begin?
Faces I remember
Places I have been

[Verse 2]
Shoulders to cry on
Another's hand to hold
Miss your sweet comfort
As I'm growin' old

[Chorus]
Did you ever feel so all alone?
Did you fight the darkness on your own?
They're mine, all mine
Little victories of mine
One more bottle of wine

[Verse 3]
Father, dear father
Help me understand
Tobacco-stained fingers
Whiskey in your hand

[Chorus]
Did you ever feel so all alone?
Did you fight the darkness on your own?
They're mine, all mine
Little victories of mine
One more bottle of wine
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Brother, oh, brother
Morgan, prepare the pews
Preacher, a teacher
A crutch that I could use

[Chorus]
Did you ever feel so all alone?
Did you fight the darkness on your own?
They're mine, all mine
Little victories of mine
They're mine, all mine
Little victories of mine
