cross this road...
F
Am
When I was just a little boy
Bb
Am
Gm
Well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home
F
C
Momma hold my hand
Bb
Am
Gm
F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
F
Am
And when I was a young man
Bb
Am
Gm
I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Dm
Am
And my momma would come out to help me
Dm
Am
But I pushed her away
Dm
Am
Cause I just wanted to be on my own
Bb
C
And here's what I say
F
C
Momma leave my hand
Bb
Am
Gm
F
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
Am
Bb
Am
Gm
Cross this road by myself
F
Am
Well now that I'm a grown man
Bb
Am
Gm
And I've moved away
I got a house a 9to5
F
C
Momma hold my hand
Bb
Am
Gm
F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
F
Am
Bb
Now my momma is near the end of her years
Bb
Am
Gm
And her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her
Dm
Am
Momma used to be strong but she aint now
Dm
Am
And she can't make her way
Dm
Am
That's why I'm always around when she needs help
Bb
C
And here's what I say
F

Momma hold my hand
Bb
Am
Gm
F
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
Momma hold my hand
