PAUL MCCARTNEY - Only Mama Knows lyrics

rate me

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

Round my hand was a plastic band

With a picture of my face

I was crying, left to die in

This God forsaken place

This God forsaken place

Only mama knows why she laid me down

In this God forsaken town

Where she was running to what she ran from

Though I always wondered I never knew

Only mama knows

Only mama knows

I'm passing through I'm on my way

I'm 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 gotta hold on gotta hold on

Was it planned as a one night stand

Or did she leave in disgrace

Well I never will I ever see my fathers face, see my fathers face

Only mama knows why she laid me down

In this God forsaken town

Where she was running to what she ran from

Though I always wondered I never knew

Only mama knows

Only mama knows

Only mama knows (only mama knows) why she laid me down

In this God forsaken town

Where she was running to (only mama knows) what she ran from

Though I always wondered I never knew

Only mama knows (only mama knows)

Only mama knows (only mama knows)

(Only mama knows, only mama knows)

I've gotta hold on (only mama knows)

I've gotta hold on (only mama knows )

You've gotta hold on
