When I was just a little boy well I would go out to play. And I would wander so far from home that I would lose my way. And I'd call on my mama to help me, and she'd come right away to help me get back home where I wanna be. And here's what I say:
CHORUS 1
Mama hold my hand! I don't think I can cross this road by myself... Mama hold my hand! I don't think I can cross this road by myself...
And when I was a young man I would go astray. Didn't want nobody to hold my hand. Wanted to make my own way. And my mama would come out to help me, but I push her away, 'cause I just wanted to be on my own and here's what I say:
CHORUS 2
Mama leave my hand! I've been waiting to cross this road by myself... Cross this road by myself...
Well now that I'm a grown man and I've moved away, I got house a nine to five, and my wife got a kid on the way...
Mama told me that lifes gonna get rough take it day by day, but every once in a while I get scared and I wish I could say:
CHORUS 1
Mama hold my hand! I don't think I can cross this road by myself... Mama hold my hand! I don't think I can cross this road by myself...
Now my mama is near the end of her years and her hair is grey. Sometimes I call her to ask her if she would like to spend the day?
Mama used to be strong but she ain't now and she can't make her way. That's why I'm always around when she needs help and here's what I say:
CHORUS 3
Mama hold my hand! I don't think you can cross this road by yourself... Mama hold my hand! I don't think you can cross this road by yourself...Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
