F Am Bb Am
Gm (3x)
cross this road...
F Am
When I was just a little boy
Bb Bb Am Gm
Well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home
That I would lose my way
And I'd call on my momma to help me
and she'd come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
And here's what I say
[CHORUS 1 2x]
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Bb Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
F Am
And when I was a young man
Bb Bb Am Gm
I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Wanted to make my own way
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 Bb C
And here's what I say
[CHORUS 2]
F C
Momma leave my hand
Bb Bb Am Gm F
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
Am Bb Bb Am Gm
Cross this road by myself
F Am
Well now that I'm a grown man
Bb Bb Am Gm
And I've moved away
I got a house a 9to5
And my wife got a kid on the way
Momma told me that life's gonna get rough
Take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say
[CHORUS 3 2x]
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Bb Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
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
To ask her if she would like to spend the day
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 Bb C
And here's what I say
[CHORUS 4 2x]
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Bb Am Gm F
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
