Only Mama Knows

Well, I was found in the (F)transit lounge of a (Gm)dirty airport town.

(Gm)What was I doin' on the (F)road to ruin?

Well, my (Gm)mama laid fa me down.

(Gm)My mama laid me (F)down.

(Gm)Well, 'Round my hand was a (F)plastic band with a (Gm)picture of my (F)face.

(Gm)I was I cryin' in', the (F)will left to die in this (Gm)godforsak faen (A)place,

(Gm)this godforsaken (F)place.

(D)Only mama (F#m)knows

why she (Em)laid me down in this (Gm)godforsaken (D)town.

Where she was running (F#m)to,

what she (Em)ran from, though I always (Gm)wondered,

I never knew.

Only mama knows,

only mama knows.

(Gm)I'm passin' through, I'm on my way,

on the road, no E.

T. A.

I'm passin' through no fixed abode,

and that is why

I need to try

to hold on.

I've gotta hold on,

got to hold on.

(Gm)I've got to hold on,

I've got to hold on,

we've only gotta hold on.
