Abandoned by gypsies in Wyoming
Mama in a box I'm coming home in
You always said that you wanted to see your son one more time
Well reach into my pockets you'll find three nickels and a dime
Mama I finally made it home
I promised you that I wouldn't be gone long
And I know this ain't quite the way you wanted to tell your son goodbye
Mama wipe those tears from your sweet sweet eyes
I finally made it home
Daddy I had a good life this is true
I know it ain't quite the one that you would choose
I said I wouldnt be home until you were proud of me
Well Daddy look at this pretty box someone made just for me Daddy
I finally made it home I'm sorry I brought nothing but the song
And I know it ain't quite the way you wanted to tell your son goodbye
Daddy wipe those tears from my sweet mother's eyes
Daddy I finally made it home
I promised Ma that I wouldn't be gone long
And I know this ain't quite the way y'all wanted to tell your baby goodbye
Daddy wipe those tears from my sweet mother's eyes
I finally made it home
