Mama Hold My Hand

cross this road...

1. When I was just a little boy

Well I would go out to play

And I would wander so far from home

That I would lose my way

And I'd call on my momma to help me

and she'd come right away

To help me get back home where I wanna be

And here's what I say

R1: Momma hold my hand

I don't think I can cross this road by myself

Momma hold my hand

I don't think I can cross this road by myself

2. And when I was a young man

I would go astray

Didn't want nobody to hold my hand

Wanted to make my own way

Dm Am

And my momma would come out to help me

Dm Am

But I pushed her away

Dm Am

Cause I just wanted to be on my own

And here's what I say

R2: Momma leave my hand

I've been waiting to cross this road by myself

Cross this road by myself

3. Well now that I'm a grown man

And I've moved away

I got a house a 9to5

And my wife got a kid on the way

Momma told me that life's gonna gear of

Take it day by day

But every once in a while I get scared

And I wish I could say

R3: Momma hold my hand

I don't think I can cross this road by myself

Momma hold my hand

I don't think I can cross this road by myself

4. Now my momma is near the end of her years

And her hair is grey

Sometimes I call her

To ask her if she would like to spend the day

Dm Am

Momma used to be strong but she aint now

Dm Am

And she can't make her way

Dm Am

That's why I'm always around when she needs help

And here's what I say

R4: Momma hold my hand

I don't think you can cross this road by yourself

Momma hold my hand

I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
