Talkin' down the line
I nearly lost my mind
Nearly lost you, babe
I think about you child
Through my sick and twisted smile
I nearly lost you, babe
Shakin' in my hands
I just don't understand
Nearly lost ya, Mama
Lovin' just to hate
A war that just won't wait
I nearly lost ya, babe
My eyes have gone blind
Though the past I just can't find
A flower to be saved, a flower for your grave
Mama at times I just don't know
Oh sweet Jesus, where did I go?
What it was to be
Was kind'a clear to see
Nearly lost ya, babe
There ain't no backin' down
'Cause I ain't nobody's clown
I nearly lost you, Mama
Breakin' down inside, yeah
I nearly lost you, babe
Forever one more time
Until the day I die
I nearly lost ya, babe
My eyes have gone blind
Though the past I just can't find
A flower to be saved, a flower for your grave
No, I just don't know, oh, sweet Jesus
Were did I go, where'd I go, oh yeah
Though my eyes they have gone blind
An' this I just can't find, no
Flower to be saved, a flower for your grave
Mama, I just don't know
Oh sweet Jesus, where did I go?
