MAMA HELP ME

My Mama called me on the phone
said, "how’s my baby doing,
when you comin’ home?"

Well, I can’t say
that I’m doing fine
I’m just killing time
going out tonight

No, I can’t tell you
that I’m fine
seriously speaking Mama,
I think I’m losing my mind

And I don’t know
what it is about this town
it’s keeping me down
I just can’t get around it

Don’t wanna think that life’s a joke
I’m choking on this cigarette smoke
I’m getting drunk, I’m going broke
I just spent my last token

Yeah, it’s a possibility
all these things are killing me
you see

Woah, woah, yeah,
woah, woah, my my my
Mama help me, please

I drink until I’m half dead
always trying to clear my head
always trying, getting nothing
when does that amount to something?

Yeah, it’s a possibility
all these things are killing me,
so please

So Mama, thank you for the call
‘cause your little darlin’s just
one step before the fall

And I don’t know
if it’s right or wrong
I’m just trying to get along

I keep singing
the same sad songs
because...

Don’t wanna think that life’s a joke
I’m choking on this cigarette smoke
I’m getting drunk, I’m going broke
I just spent my last token

Yeah, it’s a possibility
all these things are killing me
you see

Woah, woah, yeah,
woah, woah, my my my
Mama help me, please

Give me some money to
get me back on my feet
