              cross this road...

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

R1: 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

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

R2: Momma leave my hand
    I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
    Cross this road by myself

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

R3: 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

4. 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

R4: 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
