I don't know where I'll go when the gates open in the mornin'

Maybe to my mama's house, if she'll open up the door

But the last time that I saw her she looked me in the eye

Said she didn't wanna see my face again til' the day she died, oh

And it's been three long years since I've been on the outside

Losing track of the passage of time

I hope her house is still where I left, yeah I got nowhere else to turn

But if she's gone when I get there It'll be what I deserve, oh

Oh

I don't got no time for this, I don't think I can take it

To go back on my hands and knees to her today

All I ever wanted was a hug and kiss

And reinsurance that everything would be ok

Oh, but you never were there

She could stay, no

Oh I never once earned her laugh

Being her largest wasn't enough

What I'd done didn't help at all
