[C]
She [F] gets little in return for [Bb] all she's given
[Bb]
And [F] I know she's got to [C] love since [Bb] daddy's gone
[F] Now [C] I'm forty [Bb] miles away [F] and I'm just wondering
[D] Why I ever told [Dm] her I [G] was doing well
[C] When [F] I first went wrong I should have turned to mama
[Bb]
[F] But it's hard to get [C] back up once you have fell

[C]
[F] Now she'll say her final prayers for me daddy
And I'm glad she's only [C] seen one [Bb] side of [F] me
Today makes thirteen [Bb] years in Coleman Federal [F] Prison
And tonight I [Dm] walked my [C] last few steps [G] alone
[C]
But [F] I can't help thinking somewhere mama's waiting
Once again to [C] see her every [G] time [Bb] boy come home
