of a dirty airport town What was I doing on the road to ruin Well my mama laid me down My mama laid me down
Verse Two:
Around my hand was a plastic band With a picture of my face I was crying, left to die in this godforsaken place This godforsaken place
Chorus:
Only Mama knows what she laid me down in this godforsaken town
Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered, I never knew Only Mama knows Only Mama knows
Middle:
I´m passing through I´m on my way On the road, no ETA I´m passing through No fixed abode And that is why.... I need to try To hold on I´ve got to hold on (3X)
Verse Three:
Was it planned as a one night stand or did she live in disgrace Well, I never will I ever see my father´s face See my father´s face
