As I drive towards home, I picture Mama waiting
She'll be glad to see her big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she's given
And I'm all she's got to love since Daddy's gone
Now I'm forty miles away and I'm just
wondering Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong,
I should have turned to Mama
But it's hard to get back up once you have fell
It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel Mama's arms around me
It's the last chance here on earth I'll ever sing
As I drive away, behind me Mama's waving
I'm the one who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she'll say her final prayers and go meet Daddy
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me
Today makes thirteen years in Coleman Federal Prison
And tonight I walk my last few steps alone
But I can't help thinking somewhere Mama's
waiting Once again to see her big time boy come home
It's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins
in the spring It's the last time I'll feel Mama's arms
around me It's the last chance here on earth I'll ever
