[Verse 1] 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 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 [Verse 2] I'm pa**ing through I'm on my way On the road, no ETA I'm pa**ing through No fixed abode And that is why I need to try To hold on I've got to hold on[x3] [Bridge] 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[x2] [Chorus] [Outro] Got to hold on...
