lyrics

I left home last night
Told mama that I'd be alright
She said, "Go your own way son, just do what they say"
Trust me ma, well I'll be okay

So I headed off down the tracks
I laughed and said, "I'm never going back"
'Cause I've waited too long, to sing this song
Now I'm off to where I belong

I got into town the next day
I sat down by a tree there to pray
"Lord, find me a wife and give me new life,
and Lord, I need a place here to stay."

Mama, don't cry when I'm dead
I never listened to a word that she said
It's been twelve years today since I last betrayed
My family, and since the last time I prayed

Now, I got back home tonight
Found my way by the old porch light
She said, "Boy, you've been away, you let yourself go astray.
but you are welcome back home any day."
