Verse One:
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
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
She was running too
What she was running from
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
Repeat Chorus (2X)
Gotta hold on... (4X)
