[G] [C]
[G] As I drive towards [C] home, I picture my [G] awaiting
She'll be glad [D] to see [Em] her big time boy [A] come home
[D]
She [G] gets little in return for all [C] she's given
And I'm [G] all she's got [D] to love since [C] daddy's gone
[G] [Am] [G]
Now I'm forty miles [C] away, and [G] I'm still wondering
Why I ever [Bm] told [Em] her I was [A] doing well
When [D]
[G] I first went wrong, I should have told [C] mama
[G] It's hard to get [D] back up once you've [C] had faith
[G] [Am] It's [G]
[C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] see [D] flowers [G] in the morning
It's [C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] hear [D] robins [G] in the spring
It's [C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] feel mama's [G] arms around me
[E] [G]
[Am] It's the last chance dear [D] older, I'll have [C] to say [G] no
As I drive away, [C] behind me [G] mama's waving
To a son who's [E] all he'd [G] ever hoped [A] he'd be
[D] [G] Now she'll say her final prayers and go [C] be daddy
And [G] I'm glad she's only [D] seen one [C] side of [G] me
[Am] [G] Today [C] makes thirteen years at [G] Coleman Fenton Prison
And tonight I'll [Em] walk my last few steps
[A] But
[D] [D] [G] I can't help thinking somewhere [C] mama's waiting
Once [G] again to see [D] her big time boy [C] come [G] home
[Am] [G] [C] It's the last [G] time I'll [Am] see [D] flowers [G] in the morning
It's [C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] hear [D] robins [G] in the spring
It's [C] the last [G] time I'll [D] feel mama's [G] arms around [Bm] me
[Em] It's [Am] the last chance dear [D] older, I'll [C] have to [G] say
It's [Am] the last chance dear [D] older, I'll have to [C] say
