Lyrics

My mama spent her young life raisin kids and bailin hay, somewhere s in the distance to the whistle of a train
Starin at those four grey walls in silence lord i d listen, destitution s child born on an la street called shame
so hopped a freight in waycross and i rode it to la
sunday morning found me standin neath the red light at her door
With dreams of georgia cotton and a california wife, laughter found the mornings brought the meaning to my life
starin at those four grey walls in silence lord i d listen
My daddy was an honest man just a red dirt georgia farm boy, most days he went hungry and then the summer came
Growin up came quietly in the arms of mabel joy, with dreams of georgia cotton and a california wife

Stunned and shaken someone said son she don t live here anymore, she left this town ten years ago i heard she s looking for
My daddy was an honest man just a red dirt georgia farm boy, lord the cold nights had no pity on a waycross georgia farm boy Joy, with dreams of georgia cotton and a california wife
She left this town ten years ago i heard she s looking for, laughter found the mornings brought the meaning to my life
Starin at those four grey walls in silence lord i d listen, my daddy was an honest man just a red dirt georgia farm boy
With a bullet in my side i cried have you seen mabel joy, the sleep came and left this little waycross country boy, my mama spent her young life raisin kids and bailin hay
Right cross sent me reelin put my face down on the floor, the cold nights had no pity on this waycross georgia farm boy, in place of my mabel joy he found a merchant mad marine
Starin at those four grey walls in silence lord i d listen, now i was just fifteen when i ached inside to wander, i woke up one day lord finding i was by myself
growin up came quietly in the arms of mabel joy

Right cross sent me reelin put my face down on the floor, right cross sent me reelin put my face down on the floor
The sleep came and left this little waycross country boy, the cold nights had no pity on this waycross georgia farm boy
Laughter found the mornings brought the meaning to my life, with a bullet in my side i cried have you seen mabel joy
The sleep came and left this little waycross country boy, that midnight freight to take me back to mabel joy, with dreams of georgia cotton and a california wife
Springtime turned to summer and then the winter came, lord the cold nights had no pity on a waycross georgia farm boy
