It's been a real long time since last I've seen it
I'm sadly curious what's goin' down that way
Within my heart and soul I'll always be there
But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
Mama yo, no can't go, no no
Sometimes I can't believe how much you miss it
Tryin' to understand Mama but I just don't know
Will you find back there that you ain't got here?
I won't go back, I tell you now I just can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go, no no
I'm into liberty, I'm into freedom
God I know someday they will overcome
Within my heart and soul, I'll always be there
But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go, no no
No matter what you do or what you say
I ain't goin' anywhere no
I told you once, I'll tell you twice again
Mama no you just can't win, no
Mama yo can't go
It's been a real long time since last I've seen it
I'm sadly curious what's goin' down that way
Within my heart and soul, I'll always be there
But there's no way I can go back, I just can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go
I can't go, I can't go
Mama yo, no can't go, no no
Mama yo, no can't go, no no
