Let me in, sweet mama
It's your wandering boy
Knocking now on your front door
Let me in, sweet mama
It's your bundle of joy
Coming home from his personal war
Open up, dear darling
It's your baby out here
Begging you to forgive
Let me in, little sweetheart
Or, mama, I fear
I won't find me no reason to live
I had my taste of freedom
And it tasted pretty bad
I swear it's a jungle out there
But it sure made me realize
What a good thing I had
A good thing
They say you still care
Come on, sweet mama
Let me back in your heart
Back where he's always been
And I swear there ain't nothing
Gonna tear us apart
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Won't you let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah baby, let me in
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, honey, let me in
