cross this road...
F Am
1. When I was just a little boy
B B Am Gm
Well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home
That I would lose my way
And I'd call on my momma to help me
and she'd come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
And here's what I say
F C
R1: Momma hold my hand
B B Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
F Am
2. And when I was a young man
B B Am Gm
I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Wanted to make my own way
Dm Am
And my momma would come out to help me
Dm Am
But I pushed her away
Dm Am
Cause I just wanted to be on my own
B B C
And here's what I say
F C
R2: Momma leave my hand
B B Am Gm F
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
Am B B Am Gm
Cross this road by myself
F Am
3. Well now that I'm a grown man
B B Am Gm
And I've moved away
I got a house a 9to5
And my wife got a kid on the way
Momma told me that life's gonna gear of
Take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say
F C
R3: Momma hold my hand
B B Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
F Am B
4. Now my momma is near the end of her years
B Am Gm
And her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her
To ask her if she would like to spend the day
Dm Am
Momma used to be strong but she aint now
Dm Am
And she can't make her way
Dm Am
That's why I'm always around when she needs help
B B C
And here's what I say
F C
R4: Momma hold my hand
B B Am Gm F
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
