Lyrics
Once a lost soul
I wanted to stay
Want to stay in my home
I cried all day
Momma wouldn't go to work
To receive the pay
But it's alright she told me
You are the only reason
To live and work on a saturday night
When I could be dreamin'
She said she might as well be awake while she is sleeping
Once a lost soul
Waitin' on the dial tone
Operator couldn't console
She wasn't comin' home her place was unknown
Had to go on alone
But it's alright she told me
You are the only reason
My fingers are sore
My eyes are tight but I'm still believin'
I work every day just to see your smile and face in the evening
And when she came home
I'd be so happy I wasn't
Bein' alone listenin' to the radiator screechin'
Counting to ten hoping she'd walk through the door breathin'
And when she came home
I'd be so happy I wasn't
Bein' alone listenin' to the radiator screechin'
Counting to ten hoping she'd walk through the door breathin
