Parole

I don't know where I'll go when the gates open in the mornin'
Maybe to my mama's house, if she'll open up the door
But the last time that I saw her she looked me in the eye
Said she didn't wanna see my face again til' the day she died, oh

And it's been three long years since I've been on the outside
Losing track of the passage of time
I hope her house is still where I left, yeah I got nowhere else to turn
But if she's gone when I get there It'll be what I deserve, oh
Oh

I don't got no time for this, I don't think I can take it
To go back on my hands and knees to her today
All I ever wanted was a hug and kiss

And reinsurance that everything would be ok
Oh, but you never were there
She could stay, no

Oh I never once earned her laugh
Being her largest wasn't enough
What I'd done didn't help at all
