Lyrics
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
Round my hand was a plastic band
With a picture of my face
I was crying
Left to die in this God forsaken place
This God forsaken place
Only mama knows
Why she laid me down in this God forsaken town
Where she was running to
What she ran from though I always wondered
I never knew
Only mama knows
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 gotta hold on
Gotta hold on
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?
Only mama knows
Why she laid me down in this God forsaken town
Where she was running to
What she ran from though I always wondered
I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
Why she laid me down in this God forsaken town
She was running to
What she ran from though I always wondered
I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
I've gotta hold on
I've gotta hold on
You've gotta hold on
