ONLY MAMA KNOWS

Well I was found in the transit lounge 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 Round my hand was a plastic band With a picture of my face I was crying, left to die in This God forsaken place This God forsaken place Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to, what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows I'm passing through, I'm on my way I'm 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 gotta hold on, gotta hold on Was it planned as a one night stand Or did she leave in disgrace? Well I never will I ever see my fathers face, see my fathers face? Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows Only mama knows why she laid me down In this God forsaken town Where she was running to what she ran from Though I always wondered I never knew Only mama knows Only mama knows I've gotta hold on. I've gotta hold on. You've gotta hold on
