Momma got to worrying because her boy left home in a hurry again
|
Her photographs are fading, she keeps a box in the closet full of negatives
|
Well, I left a note on the floor in my room
|
I've always been stubborn and late to bloom
|
I had to lay down my load, my burdens are my own
|
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
|
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
and I know, I know
|
|
I was longing on a short summer night when I had the urge to leave
|
I went out to find my muse with an eighth in my pocket and a craving for some cajun blues
|
I was following my follies when I saw her aboard the River Queen
|
I was courting my creole lady all the way to New Orleans
|
But I was swoon by a luminous tomb so I climbed the roof and gave that woman my croon
|
I had to tell her all I know, my business is my own
|
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
|
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
And I know, I know
|
|
When you feel
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel
|
When you feel it
|
|
Well, mamma got to worrying she said "Now boy, I stay up late wondering where you've been!
|
Oh, soon your gonna have to give in. No, you can't live forever the way that you've been."
|
Oh, mamma I'm not trying to do not wrong I had to learn this is the way I get along
|
It's a life that I chose, my reasons are my own
|
It's a coming of age when you feel it you know
|
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
I know, I know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
When you feel it you know
|
