I'm Not the Boy I Used to Be

Dear Mama, I am coming home tomorrow and if you don't mind, would you meet at the train

Dear Mama, my wandering days are over and it's so good to be coming home again

Dear Mama, we'll walk the fields together and through the valley, we will stroll hand-in-hand

I just can't wait to see you and touch the soil of home so clean

But Mama I'm not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long

and I've done everything that's wrong

But I think I finally found myself at last

and just you wait and see

another chance is all I need

But Mama, I'm not the boy I used to be

You see, Mama, I spend time in prison

for crime that I'm too ashamed to tell

And when you meet there tomorrow,

don't be surprised that what you see

Cuz, Mama I am not the boy I used to be

For I've been gone away too long

and I've done everything that's wrong

But I think I finally found myself at last

and just you wait and see

Another chance is all I need

But Mama, I'm not the boy I used to be
