Woke up this morning Riding on a homebound train Pocket full of memories Thinking about the good old days Bought a bottle of wine With the last dime to my name Jumped an Oslo freight Running through the pouring rain
Oh mama, don't turn out the light There's a shadow on the moon outside Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure I've missed the old home place I am never gonna leave anymore
This side of the city I felt the cold wind blow More than a heartache It chilled me to the bone I squeeze my empty bottle And the tears began to flow It slipped right through my fingers With a few more miles to go
Oh mama, don't turn out the light There's a shadow on the moon outside Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure I've missed the old home place I am never gonna leave anymore
Oh mama, don't turn out the light There's a shadow on the moon outside Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure I've missed the old home place I am never gonna leave anymore
