Em                      D    
Well I was found in the transit 
               Em            D
lounge of a dirty airport town
Em                      D    
What was I doing on the road to 
                   Em          F#m
ruin, where my mama laid me down?
Em              D
My mama laid me down

Em                  D            
Round my hand was a plastic band 
       Em            D
with a picture of my face
Em            D                   
I was crying, left to die in this 
Em          F#m
godforsaken place
Em                D  A  E
This godforsaken place

Why she laid me down in this 
 Em          B
godforsaken town
                D#m
She was running too
         C#m
What she ran from who I always 
wondered

I never knew

Em                               
I'm passing through, I'm on my

way
Em                (Bm)
On the road, no ETA
Em                                
I'm passing through, no fixed

abode
Em
And that is why

I need to try

Em
To hold on (to hold on)

Got to hold on

Em                  D            
Was it planned as a one-night

stand, or did she leave in disgrace?
Em            D           Em    
Well I never, will I ever see my

 father's face?
Em               D  A  E
See my father's face
