作词 : Hellard, Paxton | |
Mama said that thirteen was too young to think my lips | |
And too young to run with me and twice my years | |
But when you're young and yearn to be a woman what does your mother know | |
I couldn't understand her hangups and her fears | |
A year went by and | |
I got tired of mama's foolish advice | |
At fourteen | |
I was sure | |
I knew it all | |
It wasn't like it was at home out on the streets so long | |
Me I lived outside the law | |
Now I'm livin' in the cold grey world hear me cryin' in the night | |
Missin' even mom and dad and a man to hold me tight | |
I should've listened to my mama and seen the visdom in her eyes | |
And the Tennessee women's prison wouldn't be my mama tonight | |
If I ever get out of this nasty cell | |
I'll never be back again | |
Cause mama has sure got smarter every day since | |
I've been in | |
I gonna follow the straight and narrow if | |
I can just get my parole | |
And the Tennessee women's prison won't own my soul | |
Cause I'm livin' in the cold grey world... | |
And this Tennessee women's prison wouldn't be my mama tonight |
