Well all the dreams have gone from my worried mind Ain't no pretty pictures left by luck's design And baby, i'm just a leaf hanging on my family tree I'm just a leaf hanging on my family tree And it's a weak branch that's been hanging me April if you may comes to june and july All these months to the flame and still no butterfly boy I'm just a leaf blowing on my family tree I'm just a leaf blowing on my family tree And it's strong wind that's been blowing me Baby don't you cry It won't matter to you 'cause every bad life goes by and your mama loves you Yes she does Now there's alotta good things that my daddy did but There ain't no burden like an unplanned kid And baby, i'm falling now don't know where i'm gonna land I'm falling now don't know where i'm gonna land Half in the shadows, honey, and half in the light, that's right Baby don't you cry It won't matter to you It won't matter to you 'cause every bad life goes by and your mama loves you
