Lyrics

Hey Mama

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

A little closer, please

So I can hold your hand up to my face

You know I’m ill at ease

And I could use some warmth inside this place

Mama, I’ve got a plan

I’m gonna be a man and make this right

Now won’t you take my hand

And promise that you’ll think of me tonight

I wanna go back to my home

And I wanna be where a boy can be free

But I’ve got time, I owe the state

And I don’t think that I can wait

Don’t turn your eyes from me

I know these walls they always make me cry

But ma I gotta see

You look at me before we say goodbye

I wanna go back to my home

And I wanna be where a boy can be free

But I’ve got time, I owe the state

And I don’t think that I can wait

Hey mama, it’s good to see ya

I’m gonna need ya to pray for your son

‘Cause mama, I really miss ya

And I promise the disappointment is done

I wanna go back to my home

And I wanna be where a boy can be free

But I’ve got time, I owe the state

And I don’t think that I can wait

I wanna go back to my home

And I wanna be where a boy can be free

But I’ve got time, I owe the state

And I don’t think that I can wait
