Sometimes I feel so weary Traveling through life all alone Sometimes I feel so weary Traveling through life all alone It's a long, long journey And I can't make it on my own There's seven million people Living right here in this town There's seven million people Living right here in this town I don't need but one person So, baby, why won't you, please, stay around? When the sun turns blue And the moon shines bright all day When the sun turns blue And the moon shines bright all day That's the day, sweet mama I'll let you run away When the rivers stop flowing And the trees lay down and die I said, when the rivers stop flowing And the trees lay down and die When the stars stop shining Then I'll say my love's goodbye Now if I've been misbehaving I promise you I'll stop But if you quit me, mama I swear I'll blow my top It's a long, long journey But I'll make it before I'm blue This world can't throw me Mama, if I still have you
