Cross this road |
|
When I was just a little boy |
|
Well, I would go out to play |
|
And I would wander so far from home |
|
That I would lose my way |
|
And I'd call my momma to help me |
|
And she'd come right away |
|
To help me get back home where |
|
I wanna be |
|
And here's what |
|
I sayMomma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think |
|
I can cross this road by myself |
|
Momma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think |
|
I can cross this road by myself |
|
And when I was a young man |
|
I would go astray |
|
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand |
|
Wanted to make my own way |
|
And my momma would come out to help me |
|
But I push her away' |
|
Cause I just wanted to be on my own |
|
And here's what |
|
I sayMomma, leave my hand |
|
I been waiting to cross this road by myself |
|
Cross this road by myself |
|
Well, now that |
|
I'm a grown man |
|
And I moved away |
|
I got a house, a nine to five and my wife |
|
We got a kid on the way |
|
Momma told me that life's gonna get rough |
|
Take it day by day |
|
But every once in a while |
|
I get scared |
|
And I wish |
|
I could say |
|
Momma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think |
|
I can cross this road by myself |
|
Momma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think |
|
I can cross this road by myself |
|
Now my momma is near the end of her years |
|
And her hair is gray |
|
Sometimes |
|
I call her to ask her if she would like |
|
To spend the day |
|
Momma used to be strong but she ain't now |
|
And she can't make her way |
|
That's why |
|
I'm always around when she needs help |
|
And here's what |
|
I sayMomma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself |
|
Momma, hold my hand |
|
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself |
