Kenny Rogers - Momma's Waiting lyrics
[Kenny Rogers - Momma's Waiting lyrics]
As I drive toward home
I picture Momma waiting
She'll be glad to see her
Big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she's given
And I'm all she's got to
Love since Daddy's gone
Now I'm forty miles away
And I'm still wonderin'
Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong I
Should have turned to Momma
But it's hard to get back
Up once you have fell
It's the last time I'll see
Flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear
Robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel
Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on
Earth I'll have to sing
As I drive away behind me Momma's waving
To a son who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she says her final prayers, "And go
Meet Daddy"
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me
Today makes thirteen years in
Coleman's Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk these
Last few steps alone but I can't help think
That somewhere Momma's waiting
Once again to see her big time boy come home
It's the last time I'll see
Flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear
Robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel
Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on
Earth I'll have to sing
I picture Momma waiting
She'll be glad to see her
Big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she's given
And I'm all she's got to
Love since Daddy's gone
Now I'm forty miles away
And I'm still wonderin'
Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong I
Should have turned to Momma
But it's hard to get back
Up once you have fell
It's the last time I'll see
Flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear
Robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel
Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on
Earth I'll have to sing
As I drive away behind me Momma's waving
To a son who's all she'd ever hoped he'd be
Now she says her final prayers, "And go
Meet Daddy"
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me
Today makes thirteen years in
Coleman's Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk these
Last few steps alone but I can't help think
That somewhere Momma's waiting
Once again to see her big time boy come home
It's the last time I'll see
Flowers in the morning
It's the last time I'll hear
Robins in the spring
It's the last time I'll feel
Momma's arms around me
It's the last chance here on
Earth I'll have to sing
