Paul McCartney - Only Mama Knows lyrics

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 godforsaken place

This godforsaken place

Only Mama knows

Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town

Well, she was running too

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

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 got to hold on

Got to hold on

Was it planned as a one night stand or did she live in disgrace?

Well, I never, will I ever

See my father's face

See my father's face

Only Mama knows

Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town

Well, she was running too

What she ran from though I always wondered

I never knew

Only Mama knows

Only Mama knows

Only Mama knows

Why she laid me down in this godforsaken town

Well, she was running too

What she ran from though I always wondered

I never knew

Only Mama knows

Only Mama knows

Got to hold on

Got to hold on

Gotta hold on
