lyrics

Well, Momma, I know you cry all the time that I'm gone
but i hope you don't feel like I did you wrong
I know you think I'm miles away just fiddlin' around
but truly I tell you no prophet is accepted in their hometown

You see, I had to go because of the blood in my veins
that makes weak in my knees like when you pray
these days will haunt me if I don't see them through
and you gotta believe me when I say there are some things I'll never be able to prove to you

Well, Momma, I know we dreamed of us all being together
not saying we won't but let's just plan for the better
Let's travel the world and start anew in New Orleans
leave the past behind and dream a day at a time

You see, I'm still gone because things just seem better out here
so you gotta let me know what'll help dry up all your fears
Because I don't know if I'm ever coming home for good
sadly life can be sad and it doesn't always work out (yeah) like it should

Yeah, my Momma, she's always the first to laugh when I sing
but the beauty of season is the many feelings that they bring
Yeah, my momma and I we never really see eye to eye
but it doesn't really matter because we're always on each other's side

Well, Momma, I know you cry all the time that I'm gone
but i hope you don't feel like I did you wrong
I know you think I'm miles away just fiddlin' around
but truly I tell you no prophet is accepted in their hometown
