Lyric Mama I ll sing one song for you

Well I ve sung my songs on dusty roads and dirty city sidewalks
To them sweatin hard eyed brakemen, in the rail yards I rolled through
I ve sung in blue wall papered rooms to girls I played at lovin
Now Mama…I m gonna sing one song for you

Mama let me tell you that I ve never lost the mem ry
Of the tender things you told me, and the gentle things you d do
And though I ve grown away and other arms reach out to hold me
Mama…I ll sing one song for you

You say you d like to have me here to help you through the winter
But you say it with a wistful smile like you already knew
That your boy s no good at stayin still that s words that need sayin
And Mama… I ll sing one song for you

And tomorrow I ll be movin out on them dusty country back roads
Some sweatin hard eyed brakeman may hear a tune or two
And the girl in the blue wall papered room she ll ask where I been hidin
And I ll tell em I stopped and sang one song for you

Mama let me tell you that I ve never lost the mem ry
Of the tender things you told me, and the gentle things you d do
And though I ve grown away and other arms reach out to hold me
Mama…I ll sing one song for you
