"Momma's Waiting" lyrics

As I drive towards 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 just wondering
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

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'll say her final prayer, and go meet Daddy
And I'm glad she's only seen one side of me

Today makes thirteen years in Coleman Federal Prison
And tonight I'll walk my last few steps alone
But I can't help thinking somewhere Momma's waiting
Once again, to see, her big time boy come home

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
