|  . .  |  . .  |  . .  |  . .  |

 . I was found in a transit lounge of a dirty airport town

 . What was I doing on the . road to ruin?

 Well, my mama laid me down, . . . . my mama laid me down

 . 'Round my hand was a plastic band with a picture of my face

 . I was crying, . left to die in this God forsaken place

 . God forsaken place . . . 

|         |          |                 | (c#)     |
 . Only mama knows why she laid me down in this God for-sa-ken town

 She was running, too. What she ran from, though I always wondered, 
| n/c           |      |   |      |   |
  . I never knew.  Only mama knows, only mama knows

Interlude:

Bridge:

 . I'm passing through, I'm on my way . I'm on the road, no .T..  

 . I'm passing through, no fixed abode . and that is why . . . . 
|             |        | <>  | 
 . I need to try . . . . to hold on  
|<>                | <>  |<>                 | <>  |<>      |
 . . . . I've gotta hold on . . . . I've got to hold on . . . .

(Reprise):

 . Was it planned as a one-night stand, or did she leave in disgrace?

 . Well I've never, . will I ever . see my father's face? . . .

 . See my father's face  . . .

 . Only mama knows why she laid me down in this God for-sa-ken town

 She was running, too. What she ran from, though I always wondered, 
| n/c           |      |   |      |   |
  . I never knew.  Only mama knows, only mama knows

Bridge (Reprise):

 I've got to hold on . . . . I've got to hold on . . . .
                  (only mama knows)           (only mama knows)

Note: 
"DundeeShamrock" has posted a good alternative for the Intro lick, if
you'd prefer to play it high on the neck. I prefer to play it lower to get
the growl you hear in the recording. Here's his/her version:
