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
