Lyrics

• Cross this road...

• 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 mama 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:

• CHORUS 1

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think I can cross this road by myself...

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think I can cross this road by myself...

• 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 mama would come out to help me,

• but I push her away,

• 'cause I just wanted to be on my own

• and here's what I say:

• CHORUS 2

• Mama leave my hand!

• I've been waiting to cross this road by myself...

• Cross this road

• by myself...

• Well now that I'm a grown man

• and I've moved away,

• I got house a nine to five,

• and my wife got a kid on the way...

• Mama told me that lifes gonna get rough

• take it day by day,

• but every once in a while I get scared

• and I wish I could say:

• CHORUS 1

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think I can cross this road by myself...

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think I can cross this road by myself...

• Now my mama 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?

• Mama used to be strong but she ain't 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:

• CHORUS 3

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think you can cross this road by yourself...

• Mama hold my hand!

• I don't think you can cross this road by yourself...
