Verse 2
The past was fun, but now it's over,
Why can't I ...just leave the stage?
Maybe that's be - cause you securely locked me up,
Then threw a - way the key
Chorus
Oh, momma, ...please would you find the key?
Oh, pretty momma,
Please, won't you let me go free?
I thought I was lucky,
I thought that I'd got ...it ...made!
A Em7 F# (Riff 2)

Verse 3
You said good - bye on a corner,
That I thought led to the straight,
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course,
And then re - moved the road
