I [Bb]
[F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] checked in at the [Gm] crossroads.
I met some strange [Bb] folks.
They ran a [Gm] cheap [Bb] motel.
I could hear every whisper [Gm] through the walls of the room.
It felt [Eb] a little like a prison [Cm] cell.
[Gm]
[Eb] They sang [Bb] about a dream I had.
Then they rang the dinner bell.
[Eb] Then they whooped and they hollered when I came in,
[Cm] saying, girl, you're going straight.
Now, [Eb] Mother Earth, won't you get out of [Bb] touch with you?
Won't you tell me who you are now?
Don't [Eb] you know how I feel, Mama, you've been run over [Cm] too?
Now, Mother Earth, won't you [Gm]
get out of touch with you?
[Bb] And I lean on your shoulder [Eb]
until my [Gm] feet find a room.
[C] Yeah, [Eb] wherever I'm headed, [F] Mama, don't let [Bb] it be down.
[F] [Bb] I [Gm]
[F] [Bb] took a little [Gm] detour out to the crater.
[Bb] The sky was [Gm] wild [Bbm] with rays.
[Bb] I drove my [Gm] car like a rocket taking off.
Down [Eb] that sunset [Gm] straightaway.
[Eb] There's an [Bb] endlessness in the way I feel
when I [Dm] wrap [Gm] my head [Bb]
around that wheel.
[Eb] I know just how far I'm [Cm] going to go, go, [Gm] go, down the mud [Eb] hole.
But I always come back [Bb] to you, Mama.
You [Eb] know just how I feel, you've been run [Gm] over [Cm] too.
[Gm]
And [Bb] I lean on your [Eb] shoulder until my feet [Gm] find a ground.
Now, [C]
wherever [Eb] I'm headed, [F]
Mama, don't let it be [Bbm] down.
[Gm]
[F] [Bb] Let me, let me, [F] let me, let [Bb] Mama, let Mama,
[Bb]
[F] [Bb] [Gm]
[F] let Mama.
[Gm] And it's only [F]
[Bb] when I find that peace [Cm] within.
But [Gm] it's [F]
[Bb] closer than I've ever [Eb]
been. Yeah, [Bb] yeah.
Caught in Oklahoma, [Gm] driving too [Bb] fast.
I felt my world slow [Gm] down.
[Bb] And I made my confession to the [Gm] highway patrol.
LBI.
I [Eb] said I was lost, but now I'm [Cm] finally found.
[Bb] [Eb]
But she gave me a ticket [Bb] anyway.
I [F] didn't put up a fight.
[Gm] I've driven [Eb] a million miles, lived a million [F] lives.
Now [Cm]
mama's headed home today.
Now [Gm] brother, [Eb]
I'm [Bb] talking to you.
Yeah.
[Eb] Show me the way, mama, just like you [Cm] always do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [Bb] yeah.
I'm not sure how [Eb] you wear the down south.
[Gm] But I keep on rolling [C] as I figure it out.
And [Eb]
[F] oh mama, don't let [Bb] it be done.
[Gm] [F] [Bb]
[Gm] [F] [Bb]
[Gm] [C] I'll [Bb] see you next time.
[Gm] [F] Oh, [Bb] oh, oh.
