Lyrics

If I lose my mind
Duet with porter wagoner
Writer porter wagoner
Copyright 1971

Mama it's so good to be back home again I'm so proud to see that you are
Looking well
Yes I know that I look a little weary oh but mama I have been through living
Hell
You know how much I've always loved you mama
But he done things to me I couldn't understand
Why he made me watch him love another woman
And we tried to make me love another man
Mama can I feel a little different I need you now even more than I depend
And I need the love I've lost and understanding and a lot of time to get me
Over him
If I lose my mind mama I wanna be here with you
Have them locked me up and see I have good care
But I just couldn't stand this torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there
