Intro: (3x) cross this road... Verso 1: When I was just a little boy Well I would go out to play And I would wander so far from home That I would lose my way And I’d call on my momma to help me and she’d come right away To help me get back home where I wanna be And here’s what I say Momma hold my hand I don’t think I can cross this road by myself Momma hold my hand I don’t think I can cross this road by myself Verso 2: And when I was a young man I would go astray Didn’t want nobody to hold my hand Wanted to make my own way And my momma would come out to help me But I pushed her away Cause I just wanted to be on my own And here’s what I say Momma leave my hand I’ve been waiting to cross this road by myself Cross this road by myself Verso 3: Well now that I’m a grown man And I’ve moved away I got a house a 9to5 And my wife got a kid on the way Momma told me that life’s gonna gear of Take it day by day But every once in a while I get scared And I wish I could say Momma hold my hand I don’t think I can cross this road by myself Momma hold my hand I don’t think I can cross this road by myself Now my momma is near the end of her years And her hair is grey Sometimes I call her To ask her if she would like to spend the day Momma used to be strong but she aint now And she can’t make her way That’s why I’m always around when she needs help And here’s what I say Momma hold my hand I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself Momma hold my hand I don’t think you can cross this road by yourself ( ) (2x)
