Dear mama I'm coming home tomorrow

If you don't mind would you meet me at the train

Dear mama my wandering days are over and it's so good to be coming home again

Dear mama we'll walk the fields together

And through the valley we'll stroll hand in hand

And I just can't wait to see you and touch the soil of home so clean

But mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long I've done everything that's wrong

But I think I've finally found myself at last

And just you wait and see another chance is all I need

Oh but mama I'm not the boy I used to be



For you see mama I've spent some time in prison

For a crime that's so bad I'm just too ashamed to tell

And when you meet me there tomorrow don't be surprised at what you'll see

Oh mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long...
