VICKIE VAUGHN
“Mama Took Her Ring Off Yesterday”
DESCRIPTION:
In this song, Vickie digs deep into personal life, offering a moving meditation on the aftermath of her father’s early death. She keeps the delivery raw and direct, opening with a stark chorus that carries both sorrow and intimacy. The lyrics delve into a tragedy that no one hopes to imagine. “He’s been gone for 3 months now, She’s already took the pictures down, And I wish I could be that strong, Mama says it’s time to carry on, ‘Cause she was solid as a rock when they carved his stone.”
