[Verse 1]
I never told you about those days
I took the car and I ran away
And I was shaken, I was insecure
And I had never wanted something more

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a man on my back and he's there all the time
And he's gone when I need him most
And I'm coming up short, but I know I'll be fine
I just hate to get so close

[Chorus]
Momma if you needed something
I'll be hangin' round, not hard to find, oh
And now you got just what you wanted
Try and find a way to spend your time, oh, oh, oh
And I'm coming up short, but I know I'll be fine
'Cause at least I got a view
And I know I'm gonna be alright
Once I get right next to you, oh

[Verse 2]
My feet they move, my feet they move fast
I was not sure if I wanted this to last, no
'Cause I would rise up all above those waves, no
With an arrow, point to me your way, mom
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a man on my back and he's there all the time
And he's gone when I need him most
And I'm coming up short, but I know I'll be fine
I just hate to get so close

[Chorus]
Momma if you needed something
I'll be hangin' round, not hard to find, oh
And now you got just what you wanted
Try and find a way to spend your time, oh, oh, oh
And I'm coming up short, but I know I'll be fine
But at least I got a view
And I know I'm gonna be alright
Once I get right next to you, oh

[Outro]
And I'm sorry I did not say I loved you, before I didn't
And I'm sorry I did not say I loved you, before I didn't
