Mama's Waiting Lyrics

As I drive toward home I picture Momma waiting
She�ll be glad to see her big time boy come home
She gets little in return for all she�s given
And I�m all she�s got to love since Daddy�s gone.
Now I�m forty miles away and I�m still wonderin�
Why I ever told her I was doing well
When I first went wrong I should have turned to Momma
But it�s hard to get back up once you have fell.

Chorus:
It�s the last time I�ll see flowers in the morning
It�s the last time I�ll hear robins in the spring
It�s the last time I�ll feel Momma�s arms around me
It�s the last chance here on earth I�ll have to sing.
As I drive away behind me Momma�s waving
To a son who�s all she�d ever hoped he�d be
Now she says her final prayers, �Go, meet Daddy�
And I�m glad she�s only seen one side of me.
Today makes thirteen years in Coleman�s Federal Prison
And tonight I�ll walk these last few steps alone
But I can�t help think that somewhere Momma�s waiting
When someday she�ll see her big time boy come home.

Chorus:
It�s the last time I�ll see flowers in the morning
It�s the last time I�ll hear robins in the spring
It�s the last time I�ll feel Momma�s arms around me
It�s the last chance here on earth I�ll have to sing...
