Humble Pie - Every Mother's Son Lyrics
One...two...three...fourThe last time I saw her she was waving me goodbyeShe swore no other boy would take my placeI took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the BayouI hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my facePlease tell her that I said helloExplain to her I didn't want to goBut a message from her daddy saidHe's gonna see me deadAnd if I can get out now, she'll never knowShe'll never know, never knowI stayed around, I played around with all those Southern bellesBut they took away my money and my prideI had no place to go--and the rest you know darn wellLiving out the guttar ain't so easy to describeBut I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty bandWorking in a smoky downtown barWhen comes along this big wheel with a contract in his handSaid, 'put your mark along here boyI'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'Please tell her that I said helloExplain to her I didn't want to goBut a message from her daddy saidHe's gonna see me deadAnd if I can get out now, she'll never knowNever know, never knowWell the years have come and goneAnd I was passing through to findThat my home town was still the same to seeWell, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mindI really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for mePlease tell her that I said helloExplain to her I didn't want to goBut a message from her daddy saidHe's gonna see me deadAnd if I can get out now, she'll never knowShe'll never know, never knowIf I can get out now, she'll never knowNever know, never knowNever know, never knowNever know
