Only Mama Knows (Live At Citi Field, NYC, 2009)

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

Well, she was running too, what she ran from

Oh, 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 got to hold on, to 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 what she laid me down

In this godforsaken town

Well, she was running too, what she ran from

Oh, I always wondered, I never knew

Only mama knows, only mama knows

Only mama knows what she laid me down

In this godforsaken town

Well, she was running too, what she ran from

Oh, I always wondered, I never knew

Only mama knows, only mama knows

Gotta hold on, gotta hold on

You gotta hold on
