_ _ _ As I drive towards home [C] I picture mama [G] _ waiting _
She'll _ be glad [D] to see [Em] her big time boy [A] come home
[D] She _ _ [G] gets little in return for [C] all she's given
And _ _ [G] I'm all she's got [D] to love since [C] daddy's gone _
[G] _ _ _ Now I'm forty _ [C] miles away [G] and [Am] I'm [G] just wondering _
Why _ I ever [D] told [Em] her I was [A] doing well
[D] When _ _ [G] I first went wrong I should have [C] turned to mama _
But _ _ [G] it's hard to get [D] back up once you [C] have fell
[A] _
[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 [C] hear [D] robins [G] in the spring
It's _ _ [C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] feel [D] mama's [G] arms around [D] _
[Em] me
_ _ [D] [Am] It's the last chance here [D] on earth I'll [C] have to say _
[G] As _ _ I drive away [C] behind me [G] mama's waving _
To _ a [Bm] son whose [Em] all she'd ever hoped he'd [A] be _ _
[D] Now _ _ [G] she'll say her final _ prayers,
[C] Go meet daddy _
_ And [G] I'm glad she's only [D] seen one [C] side of me
[Am] _
[G] _ _ _ Today makes thirteen years [C] in [G] Coleman Federal _ Prison _
And _ _ tonight I [Bm] walk [Em] my last few steps [A] alone
_ [D]
But _ _ [G] I can't help thinking _ somewhere _ [C] mama's waiting _
Once [G] _ _ again to see [D] her big time boy [C] come home _
[G] _ _ _ [C] It's the last [G] time I'll [Am] see flowers [D] in [G] the morning _ _
It's _ [C] the last [G] time I'll [Am] hear robins [D] in [G] the spring _
_ _ _ [C] It's the last time I'll feel [D] mama's [G] arms around [D] _ [G]
[Em] me
It's [Am] the last chance here [D] on earth I'll [C] have to say
[Em] _ [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 [Am] I'll hear [D] robins [G] in the spring _ _
