Closer to the city, if that's okay
G Am
But Mama, can you hear me?
F C
As I dragged on my day's last cigarette
G Am
He pulled me so hard
F C
Off my very own back door steps
G Am
And he laid me in his garden

All the years I've watched him tend
G Am
And he took me, Mama
F C
So I could never tell you about it

As I dragged on my day's last cigarette

Off my very own back door steps
