Only Mama Knows 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
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
Only Mama knows what 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
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
To hold on
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
Only Mama knows what 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 what 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
