Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 2] 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 Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town She was running too What she was running from, I always wondered I never knew Only Mama knows Only Mama knows [Bridge] 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 I've got to hold on [Verse 3] Was it planned as a one night stand Or did she leave in disgrace? Well, I never, will I ever see my father's face? See my father's face? [Chorus] Only Mama knows Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town She was running too What she was running from, I always wondered I never knew Only Mama knows Only Mama knows Only Mama knows Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town She was running too What she was running from, I always wondered I never knew Only Mama knows (Only Mama knows) Only Mama knows (Only Mama knows) (Only Mama knows) (Only Mama knows) [Outro] I've got to hold on I've got to hold on Got to hold on
