(Porter Wagoner)

Mama it's so good to be back home again
I'm so proud to see that you are looking well
Yes, I know that I look a little weary
Oh, but mama, I have been through living hell.

Mama you know how much I've always loved her
Well, she done things to me I couldn't understand
Why she parked one night in our driveway with a stranger
Where I could see her making love to him.

Oh, if I lose my mind, mama, I wanna be here with you
Have them lock me up but see I have good care
I just couldn't stand the torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there.

Oh mama she told me that her love had gone
How I wish that I had left way back then
But my love for her would not let me believe it
Just ike it won't let me forget seeing them.

Oh, if I lose my mind, mama, I wanna be here with you
Have them lock me up but see I have good care
I just couldn't stand the torture any longer
I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there.

I was afraid of what I'd do if I stayed there...
