Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Mama's coming
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Mama's coming
And she didn't forget you
When she was down in the pen
And she kept a picture of your
Little face taped over the bed
'Cause she loves you
And she needs you
And she misses you
More than you know
And in the state of California
Mama was weak
And mama used
But she loves you
And she needs you
And she misses you
More than you know
And in the state of California
Six months and she's out on parole
Hold on, mama's coming
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Mama's coming
And on your birthday
Singing to you
A bad connection
On a pay telephone
And she's gonna need
Something for the inside
Tomorrow she'll get clean
But tonight she's gotta get high
'Cause she loves you
And she needs you
And she misses you
More than you know
And in the state of California
Mama was weak
And mama used
But she loves you
And she needs you
And she misses you more than you know
And in the state of California
Six months and she's out on parole
Hold on, hold on mama's coming
How long is it gonna take
Minutes stack up like dirty plates
How long 'til you get yourself together
Would you make your daughter
Wait at home, holding on
Holding on forever
Cuz she loves you
And she needs you
And she misses you
More than you know
And in the state of California
Mama was weak
And mama used
But she loves you
And she needs you
And she miss you more than you know
In the state of California
Six months and she's out on parole
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
Hold on (hold on)
Mama's coming
Mama's coming
Mama's coming
Hold on
Mama's coming
