Only Mama Knows (Live at Citi Field)

[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

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

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

[Verse 2]

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[x3]

[Bridge]

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[x2]

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Got to hold on... [x4]
