Lyrics
Mama how would you describe me?
Mama how would you describe me?
how would you describe me
If I showed up at your door?
Mama how would you describe me?
Would you still see the light in me?
I'd been gone many a long day
When I was told, on the long black road,
That I should go, the old way back
Papa how would you describe me?
Papa how would you describe me?
If I showed up at midnight
Papa how would you describe me?
Would you still take pride in me?
I have not always been a good man
I was told, on the long black road,
That I should go, the old way back
Through the trees, I can see you and the old way back
You see me, fishing by the creek
Hanging out, skipping rocks amongst the reeds
You know I'm not the same man that I used to be (used to be)
Brother how would you describe me?
Would you still play guitar with me,
After that night when I broke your nose?
Sister how would you describe me?
Would you confide in me,
Or would you turn the lock upon your door?
I was told, on the road, that I should go, the old way back
Through the trees, I can see you, and the old way back home
Mama how would you describe me?
Mama how would you describe me?
Mama how would you describe me?
If I lay here cold
