Mama's Waiting

As I drive towards home, I picture mama waiting
She'll be glad to see her big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she given
And I'm all she's got to love since daddy's gone

Now I'm forty miles away and I'm just wondering
Why I ever told her I was doin' well
When I firstwent wrong I should have turned to Moma
And it's hard to get back up once you've fell

Chorus
And it's the last time I'll see flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear robins in the spring
I'ts the last time I'll feel moma's arms around me
I'ts the last chance here on earth I'll have to sing

As I drive away behind me mama's waving
To a son who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she says her final prayer "Go meet daddy"
And I'm glad she only knows one side of me

Today makes fifteen years in Coleman's Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk these last few steps alone
But I can't help thinkin' somewhere mama's waiting
When some day to see her big time boy come home

Chorus
