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 (only mama knows) why she laid me down |
| In this God forsaken town |
| Where she was running to (only mama knows) what she ran from |
| Though I always wondered I never knew |
| Only mama knows (only mama knows) |
| Only mama knows (only mama knows) |
| (Only mama knows, only mama knows) |
| I’ve gotta hold on (only mama knows) |
| I’ve gotta hold on (only mama knows) |
| You’ve gotta hold on |
