hey, mama…hey, mama

think it’s time i packed up my bags

gonna leave this town

and never look back

i’ll write to you

i’ll write to you, you know

and could you tell pa

that i’m sorry and i love him so
 

hey, mama…hey, mama

the road can be a lonely place

get’s cold and dark

with the wind in my face

i’ll think of you

i’ll think of you, tonight

how we’d sit around the table

playin’ cards by candlelight
 

hey, mama…hey, mama

got myself in real deep this time

ran into a pack of wolves

we get along just fine

so goodbye, mama

goodbye, mama, take care

have to find my own way

so i’ll see you when i get there
 

is it a valley of roses

or a field of thorns

do ya still want me

or wish i’d never been born

i need to know that you love me

i need to know that you care

if you keep holdin your breathe

you’re not gettin any air
(we’re not gettin anywhere)
