A little closer please, so I can hold your hand up to my face
You know I'm ill at ease, and I could use some warmth inside this place
Mama I've got a plan, I'm gonna be a man and make this right
Now won't you take my hand, and promise that you'll think of me tonight
I wanna go back to my home
And I wanna be where a boy can be free
But I've got time I owe the state
And I don't think that I can wait
Don't turn your eyes from me, you know these walls they always make me cry
But ma I gotta see you look at me before we say goodbye
Hey mama, it's good to see ya
I'm gonna need ya to pray for your son
‘cause mama, I really miss ya
And I promise the disappointment is done
