Mama, won't you please let me go
Wave goodbye at the end of spring
Drop down a graduation gown and a high school ring
Echo on the gym floor
[instrumental]
A life made from cards and sticks
The kind of broke that money can't fix
Ohhhh, this road'll take me somewhere
And I'll know it when I get there
[instrumental]
Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go

[guitar solo]
Day to day, and town to town
Mama writes, "I can never track her down"
She's gonna find what she's looking for
[instrumental]
Thirty-one when she finally makes it home
With the wisdom of the world, a woman fully grown
Oh I never needed more
Than this counter at the dime store
Than this counter at the dime store
[instrumental]
Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, let me go...

[Both of these are probably a little off, mostly because they're played on
an electric guitar and I only have an acoustic. I know the notes are right,
but I might be playing them on the wrong strings, as usual.]
