Lyrics

Only mama knows

Verse one:

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
Where she was running to what she ran from
Though 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

Repeat chorus (2x)

Gotta hold on... (4x)
